Port Identifier.
Roles are assigned according to whether the port is part of the active topology
connecting the bridge to the root bridge (i.e., root port), connecting a LAN through
the bridge to the root bridge (i.e., designated port); or is an alternate or backup
port that may provide connectivity if other bridges, bridge ports, or LANs fail or are
removed.
Displays current state of this port within the Spanning Tree:
Blocking - Port receives STA configuration messages, but does not forward
packets.
Learning - Port has transmitted configuration messages for an interval set by the
Forward Delay parameter without receiving contradictory information. Port
address table is cleared, and the port begins learning addresses.
Forwarding - Port forwards packets, and continues learning addresses.
The time since the bridge port was last initialized.
