Configuration Using the Web-based Utility

Topology Changes Counts  The total amount of STP state changes that have occurred.

LastTopology Change  The elapsed time since the bridge was initialized or reset, and the last topographic change occurred. The time is displayed in a day hour minute second format, for example, 2 days 5 hours 10 minutes and 4 seconds.

Spanning Tree > Global STP

The Global STP screen contains global parameters for STP on the Switch.

Spanning Tree > Global STP

Global Setting

Spanning Tree State  Select Enable or Disable from the drop-down menu to enable or disable STP on the Switch. The default is Enable.

BPDU Handling  Determines how BPDU packets are managed when STP is disabled on the port or Switch. BPDUs are used to transmit spanning tree information. The possible values are:

Filtering  Filters BPDU packets when spanning tree is disabled on an interface.

Flooding  Floods BPDU packets when spanning tree is disabled on an interface. This is the default value.

Path Cost Default Values  The method used to assign default path costs to STP ports. The possible values are:

Short  Specifies a range of 1-65.535 for port path costs.

Long  Specifies a range of 1-200.000.000 for port path costs. The default path costs assigned to an interface varies according to the selected method. This is the default value.

Bridge Settings

Priority  Specifies the bridge priority value. When switches or bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the device with the lowest priority value becomes the Root Bridge. The default value is 32768. The value must be a multiple of 4096. For example, 4096, 8192, 12288, etc. The range is 0 to 65535.

HelloTime  Specifies the device HelloTime (the amount of time in seconds a root bridge waits between configuration messages). The default is 2 seconds. The range is 1 to 10 seconds.

Max Age  Specifies the device Maximum Age Time (the amount of time in seconds that a bridge waits before sending configuration messages). The default is 20 seconds. The range is 6 to 40 seconds.

Forward Delay  Specifies the device forward delay time (the amount of time in seconds a bridge remains in a listening and learning state before forwarding packets). The default is 15 seconds. The range is 4 to 30 seconds.

Choose settings for the Hello Time, Max Age, and Forward Delay parameters so that both of the following are true:

Max Age ≥ 2 × (Hello Time + 1)

2 × (Forward Delay – 1) ≥ Max Age

Click Save Settings to save the changes, or Cancel Changes to cancel the changes.

Spanning Tree > STP Port Settings

The STP Port Settings screen allows network administrators to assign STP settings to specific interfaces.

Spanning Tree > STP Port Settings

Interface  Indicates the port or LAG on which STP is enabled. Select either Port (default) or LAG, then select the interface from the drop-down menu.

Enable STP  Select this to enable STP on the port. The default is Enabled.
