stp Configurable status of STP on a port. If bridge-wide STP is
enabled, the port STP configuration options are:
■ enabled — STP sets the operating state of the port
(blocking, listening, etc.) according to network
topology characteristics. This is the default
configuration for all ports.
■ disabled — STP is disabled and the port is disabled.
The port does not participate in STP decisions, frame
reception, or frame transmission.
■ removed — STP is disabled on the port but the port
can still receive or transmit frames if its link state is up.
If bridge-wide STP is disabled, the port STP setting has no
effect; as long as its link state is up, the port forwards all
valid frames. To see a matrix of port and bridge STP
settings, see “bridge port stpState” in this chapter.
txFrames Number of frames that this port has transmitted. This
object counts a frame transmitted on the interface that
corresponds to this port only if the frame is for a protocol
that the local bridging function is processing (includes
bridge management frames).
