spanning tree state for PORT 0
2’b00 – blocking state (default)
2’b01 – listening state
2’b10 - learning state
2’b11 – forwarding state
The forwarding operation in each Ethernet port is controlled by its
associated spanning tree state.
In blocking or listening state, the incoming packets will not trigger
any DMAC lookup operation and SMAC learning operation.
In learning state, the incoming packets will not trigger DMAC
lookup operation, but the SMAC learning operation will be
triggered for CRC-OK packets.
Only in forwarding state, an incoming packet will trigger DMAC
lookup operation while the first 24 bytes are received, and it will
trigger the SMAC learning operation while the whole packet is
received with good CRC.
For the 802.1d spanning tree algorithm, a blocked port for loop
avoidance should enter the blocking state so that any incoming
packets are filtered without forward. A normal port that does not
cause any loop should be in the forwarding state.
