“Number of...” Displays the number of topology changes, the time of 
the last topology change, and on what interface the 
topology change occurred.
“Timers” Lists the values for the following bridge timers:
hold time, topology change, hello time, max age, and 
forward delay.
“Times” List the number of seconds since the last:
• hello time
• topology change
• notification
• aging
“Port 1...” Displays the Interface type slot/port information and 
the status of the interface (Disabled or Enabled).
“Port path...” Displays the path cost, priority, and identifier for the 
interface.
“Designated root...” Displays the priority and MAC address of the root 
bridge of the STG that the interface belongs.
“Designated port...” Displays the designated port ID
