– Alternate — Provides an alternate path to the root switch from the root interface.
– Backup — Provides a backup path to the designated port path toward the Spanning Tree

link. Backup ports also occur when a LAN has two or more connections connected to a
shared segment.
– Disabled — Indicates the port is not participating in the Spanning Tree.
