Netgear M5300-28G-POE+ (GSM7228PSv1h2) - 12-Port Managed Gigabit Switch Softwarehandbuch

You can configure Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) on the switch. 



Prepare your computer with a static IP address in the 169.254.100.0 subnet, for 

example, 169.254.100.201.

Connect an Ethernet cable from an Ethernet port on your computer to an Ethernet port on 

the switch.

Port Role

Each MST Bridge Port that is enabled is assigned a Port Role for each 
spanning tree. The port role is one of the following values: Root Port, 
Designated Port

, Alternate Port, Backup Port, Master Port or 

.

Designated Root

Root Bridge for the CST. It is made up using the bridge priority and the 
base MAC address of the bridge.

Designated Cost

Path Cost offered to the LAN by the Designated Port.

Designated Bridge

Bridge Identifier of the bridge with the Designated Port. It is made up 
using the bridge priority and the base MAC address of the bridge.

Designated Port

Port Identifier on the Designated Bridge that offers the lowest cost to 
the LAN. It is made up from the port priority and the interface number of 
the port.

Topology Change Acknowledge

Identifies whether the topology change acknowledgement flag is set for 
the next BPDU to be transmitted for this port. It is either True or False.

Edge port

Indicates whether the port is enabled as an edge port. It takes the value 
Enabled or Disabled.

Point-to-point MAC

Derived value of the point-to-point status.

CST Regional Root

Bridge Identifier of the CST Regional Root. It is made up using the 
bridge priority and the base MAC address of the bridge.

CST Path Cost

Path Cost to the CST Regional Root.

Port Up Time Since Counters Last 
Cleared

Time since the counters were last cleared, displayed in Days, Hours, 
Minutes, and Seconds.

Loop Inconsistent State

This parameter identifies whether the port is in loop inconsistent state 
or not. 

Transitions Into Loop Inconsistent 
State 

The number of times this interface transitioned into loop inconsistent 
state.

Transitions Out Of Loop 
Inconsistent State 

The number of times this interface transitioned out of loop inconsistent 
state.
