Status
Displays current state of this port within the Spanning Tree:
No Link
No Link
No link has been established on this port.
Disabled
Port has been disabled by the user or has failed diagnostics.
Blocking
Port receives STA configuration messages, but does not forward
packets.
Listening
Port will leave blocking state due to topology change, starts
transmitting configuration messages, but does not yet 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
The port forwards packets, and continues learning addresses.
The rules defining port status are:
•
•
A port on a network segment with no other STA-compliant bridging device is
always forwarding.
•
If two ports of a switch are connected to the same segment and there is no other
STA device attached to this segment, the port with the smaller ID forwards packets
and the other is blocked.
•
All ports are blocked when the switch is booted, then some of them change state
to listening, to learning, and then to forwarding.
