OSLAM-8G Port's Port State =========================== This OID is used to manage a port to determine what kind of frames, if any, are allowed to enter or leave a port for simple bridge loop detection or 802.1D Spanning Tree. This OID value can be change at any time without disrupting frames currently in transmit. 1 - Disabled. The port is disabled and it will not receive or transmit any frames. The QC returns any pre-allocated ingress queue buffers when the port is in this mode. 2 - Blocking/Listening. OSLAM-8G examines all frames without learning any SAs, and discards all frames. 3 - Learning. OSLAM-8G will examine all frames, learning all SA address (except those from MGMT frames), and still discard all but MGMT frames. It will allow MGMT frames only to exit the port. 4 - Forwarding. OSLAM-8G examines all frames, learning SAs from all good frames (except those from MGMT frames), and receives and transmits all frames as a normal switch.
