•
Forwards frames received from the attached segment.
•
Forwards frames switched from another port for forwarding.
•
Incorporates the end station location information into its address database.
•
Receives BPDUs and directs them to the system module.
•
Processes BPDUs received from the system module.
•
Receives and responds to network management messages.
Disabled State
A LAN port in the disabled state does not participate in frame forwarding or STP. A LAN port in the disabled
state is virtually nonoperational.
A disabled LAN port performs as follows:
•
Discards frames received from the attached segment.
•
Discards frames switched from another port for forwarding.
•
Does not incorporate the end station location into its address database. (There is no learning, so there is
no address database update.)
•
Does not receive BPDUs from neighbors.
•
Does not receive BPDUs for transmission from the system module.
Summary of Port States
The following table lists the possible operational and Rapid PVST+ states for ports and the corresponding
inclusion in the active topology.

Synchronization of Port Roles
When the switch receives a proposal message on one of its ports and that port is selected as the new root port,
Rapid PVST+ forces all other ports to synchronize with the new root information.
