Duplex - displays whether the device’s transmission mode
is
Full Duplex or Half Duplex (or displays n/a if the duplex
setting does not apply.
State - the bridging status of the node from which the link is
made: Possible values and meanings depend on the
Bridge’s current
Bridging Mode setting (Section 3.2):
When STP is used for bridging, possible values include:
Disabled - the interface is not passing traffic
Forwarding - the interface is passing all traffic
Listening - the interface is listening for BPDUs
(Bridge Protocol Data Units) in order to build its
loop-free path, but is not yet forwarding general
data frames
Blocking - the interface is blocking user traffic
(usually because it is a duplicate or sub-optimal
path)
When FastPath Mesh is used for bridging, possible
values include:
Disabled - the interface is not passing traffic
Forwarding All - the interface is passing all traffic
Blocking - the interface is blocking all traffic
Above these statistics, the Bridge displays the global
Ethernet MAC Address.

frame, all radio-equipped platforms
BSSs that are acting as access points (i.e., those that do not
have bridging enabled) are shown in their own frame with this
additional information:
Radio - the radio on which the BSS is configured
BSS - the name configured for the BSS (Section 3.3.4.1)
