Test functions related to various Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) settings

VerifySTPBlockedPorts

Bases: AntaTest

Verifies there is no STP blocked ports.

Expected Results
  • success: The test will pass if there are NO ports blocked by STP.
  • failure: The test will fail if there are ports blocked by STP.
