+.BI state " STATE"
+- Set port state.
+.I STATE
+is a number representing the following states:
+.BR 0 " (disabled),"
+.BR 1 " (listening),"
+.BR 2 " (learning),"
+.BR 3 " (forwarding),"
+.BR 4 " (blocking)."
+
+.BI priority " PRIO"
+- set port priority (a 16bit unsigned value).
+

+- set port cost (a 32bit unsigned value).
+
+.BR guard " { " on " | " off " }"
+- block incoming BPDU packets on this port.
+
+.BR hairpin " { " on " | " off " }"
+- enable hairpin mode on this port. This will allow incoming packets on this
+port to be reflected back.
+
+.BR fastleave " { " on " | " off " }"
+- enable multicast fast leave on this port.
+
+.BR root_block " { " on " | " off " }"
+- block this port from becoming the bridge's root port.
+
+.BR learning " { " on " | " off " }"
+- allow MAC address learning on this port.
+
+.BR flood " { " on " | " off " }"
+- open the flood gates on this port, i.e. forward all unicast frames to this
+port also. Requires
+.BR proxy_arp " and " proxy_arp_wifi
+to be turned off.
+
+.BR proxy_arp " { " on " | " off " }"
+- enable proxy ARP on this port.

+.BR proxy_arp_wifi " { " on " | " off " }"
+- enable proxy ARP on this port which meets extended requirements by IEEE
+802.11 and Hotspot 2.0 specifications.

+.BI mcast_router " MULTICAST_ROUTER"
+- configure this port for having multicast routers attached. A port with a
+multicast router will receive all multicast traffic.
+.I MULTICAST_ROUTER
+may be either
+.B 0
+to disable multicast routers on this port,
+.B 1
+to let the system detect the presence of of routers (this is the default),

+to enable multicast routers temporarily on this port, not depending on incoming
