(Disable). If enabled, the path cost is calculated based on the link speed
of the port if the configured value for Port Path Cost is zero.

using the port priority and the interface number.

• Disabled: STP is currently disabled on the interface. The interface
forwards traffic while learning MAC addresses.
• Blocking: The interface is currently blocked and cannot be used to
forward traffic or learn MAC addresses.
• Listening: The interface is currently in the listening mode. The interface
cannot forward traffic nor can it learn MAC addresses.
• Learning: The interface is currently in the learning mode. The interface
cannot forward traffic. However, it can learn new MAC addresses.
• Forwarding: The interface is currently in the forwarding mode. The
interface can forward traffic and learn new MAC addresses.
• Manual forwarding: The interface is currently in the manual forwarding
mode. The interface can forward traffic and learn new MAC addresses.
Port Forwarding State
Each MST bridge port that is enabled is assigned a port role for each
