CheetahSwitch Workgroup-4508

Parameter

Default

Description

Forward Delay

15

The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before

 

 

changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding). This

 

 

delay is required because every device must receive information

 

 

about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In

 

 

addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information

 

 

that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise,

 

 

temporary data loops might result.

 

 

The maximum value is 30. The minimum value is the higher of 4

 

 

or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1].

STA Port Configuration

The following figure and table describe STA configuration for ports.

Parameter

Default

Description

Priority

128

Defines the priority for the use of a port in the STA algorithm. If the

 

 

path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with the

 

 

highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an active

 

 

link in the spanning tree. Where more than one port is assigned the

 

 

highest priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be

 

 

enabled.

 

 

The range is 0 - 255.

(Path) Cost

100/19/4

This parameter is used by the STA algorithm to determine the best

 

 

path between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned

to ports attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with slower media.

The default and recommended range is: Standard Ethernet: 100 (50~600)

Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)

Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10) The full range is 0 - 65535.

Note: Path cost takes precedence over port priority.
