Chapter 4 | Advanced Configuration |
System Priority Bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root port, and designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device. The default value is 32768. The range is 0 to 61440 in steps of 4096.
Hello Time Interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a configuration message. The default is 2 seconds. The range is 0 to 10 seconds.
Max Age The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. The default max age is 20 seconds. The range is 6 to 40 seconds.
Forward Delay The maximum time (in seconds) this device will wait before changing states (i.e., discarding to learning to forwarding). The default is 15 seconds. The range is 4 to 30 seconds.
STP Port Settings
Port Displays the port number.
Enable STP Indicates if STP is enabled on the port.
Port Fast Indicates if Port Fast is enabled on the port. If Port Fast mode is enabled for a port, the Port State is automatically placed in the Forwarding state when the port link is up. Port Fast optimizes the STP protocol convergence.
Path Cost The path cost is used to determine the best path between devices. The default value is auto.
Click Save Settings to save any changes.
STP > STP Status
From the STP Status screen, you will see the STP Status for each VLAN Bridge, and for each port.

STP VLAN Bridge Overview
VLAN ID The VLAN ID that has been assigned to the interface.
Bridge ID A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of the bridge priority and MAC address (where the address is taken from the Switch system).
Hello Time Displays the Hello Time value as defined on the STP > STP Settings screen.
Max Age Displays the Max Age value as defined on the STP > STP Settings screen.
Fwd Delay Displays the Forward Delay value as defined on the STP > STP Settings screen.
Topology Displays the topology. Root ID The Root ID is displayed here.
STP Port Status
STP Status on each interface since the device was last refreshed.
Port The number of the port.
VLAN The VLAN that has been assigned to the port. Path Cost The best path between devices.
Port Fast Indicates the device is the end for a switch connection.
Port State Indicates if the STP is disabled or enabled on the interface.
Statistics > Statistics Overview
You can display standard statistics on network traffic for each port of the device.
From the Statistics Overview screen, you will see the standard statistics for each port of the device. Use the Refresh button to update the statistics.
