(5) The port provides backup if other bridges, bridge ports, or LANs fail or are removed. (6) For MST protocol only, indicated whether this instance is in a master role.

What is xstInstancePortPortRole?

Reports this port's role in the spanning tree for the instance: root(2) (the port leading toward the root bridge), designated(3) (forwarding onto its segment), alternate(4) or backup(5) (standby paths ready to take over on failure), disabled(1) (no role), or master(6) (MST-only, indicates a boundary to another region).
