The spanning tree group Ports tab allows you to view the status of all the ports that are active in the spanning tree groups on the switch. If a port is associated with more than one STG, the port has one entry in this table for each STG assigned.
To view STG ports:
| The STG dialog box opens with the spanning tree group Configuration tab displayed. |
| The STG Ports tab opens. |
