bridge port summary 1313 Layer 2SwitchingModules3 MultilayerSwitchingModulesbridge port summary Displays a summary of bridge port information, including the SpanningTree Protocol (STP) configurations for selected bridge ports.Valid Minimum Abbreviationb po suImportant Considerationsn For resilient links, the main and standby ports are shown in ascendingorder.n When you are prompted to select ports, you can enter ? to see amatrix of information about the bridge ports. This matrix is useful, forexample, if you have trunks configured but forget which port is theanchor port. You must use the anchor port number to display a portsummary for a trunk.Fields in the Bridge Port Summary DisplayField DescriptionfwdTransitions Number of times that the port has entered the forwardingstate since you enabled STP or rebooted the module. Thisvalue is useful for determining the relative stability of thetopology.gvrpState(MultilayerSwitchingModules only)Whether GARP VLAN Registration Protocol (GARP) isenabled or disabled on the port. For GVRP to function onthe port, you must enable it on the port as well as theentire bridge. To configure GVRP on a port, see “bridgeport gvrpState” later in this chapter. To configure GVRPon the bridge, see “bridge gvrpState” in Chapter 6.linkState State of the link (up or down), that is, whether it isavailable for communication.portId Port identification, which includes the port priority value(first 2 digits after “0x”) and the logical port number (last2 digits). Both are shown as hexidecimal values.portNumber Logical index number that the module assigns to thebridge port, which may not correspond with the physicalport number depending on your configuration. (Forexample, when you define a trunk, only the anchor portreceives a portNumber.) As you add and remove logicalports, portNumbers are reassigned so that they remainconsecutive.rxDiscards Total number of frames received on the bridge port thathave been discarded. This value reflects a summary of allstatistics that end with Discs, Discards, or Filters.
