Port-data

Configuration information for the individual ports. The details of the table:

Port Identifier of the port
Prio Priority identifier according to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP). A lower number stands for a higher priority. In the event of several active ports to a target device, the port with the lowest priority will be blocked.
State State of the port. Possible entries:
'blocking': port disabled
'learning': connection being established to remote station
'forwarding': connection active, packets being transferred through port
Root ID consisting of the priority identifier (2 bytes) and MAC address of the device negotiated as root bridge in the STP-controlled network. The root bridge is the device in the network with the highest prio, i.e. the lowest priority identifier number.
Bridge Next remote station ('hop point') along the path to the root bridge
