Parameter

Default

Description

Fast STA Mode

Disabled

This enables/disables the Fast STA Mode for the port. In this mode,

 

 

ports skip the Blocked, Listening and Learning states and proceed

 

 

straight to Forwarding.

 

 

The Fast STA Mode enables end-node workstations and servers to

 

 

overcome time-out problems when the Spanning Tree Algorithm is

 

 

implemented in a network. Therefore, the Fast STA Mode should

 

 

only be enabled for ports that are connected to an end-node device.

Configuring Bridge MIB Extensions

The Bridge MIB includes extensions for managed devices that support Traffic Classes and Virtual LANs. To display the switch’s support for these extensions, use the Extended Bridge Configuration screen as shown below:

Bridge Capability

Parameter

Description

Extended Multicast Filtering

The switch does not support the filtering of individual multicast

Services

addresses based on GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol).

Traffic Classes

The switch provides mapping of user priorities to multiple traffic

 

classes. (Refer to the Priority menu.)

Static Entry Individual Port

The switch provides static filtering for unicast and multicast addresses.

 

(Refer to the Address Table.)

VLAN Learning

This switch uses Independent VLAN Learning (IVL), whereby each

 

port maintains its own VLAN filtering database.

Configurable PVID Tagging

The switch allows you to override the default PVID setting (Port VLAN

 

ID used in frame tags) and its egress status (VLAN-Tagged or

 

Untagged) on each port. (Refer to VLAN / VLAN Port Configuration.)

Local VLAN Capable

This switch does not support multiple local bridges (that is, multiple

 

Spanning Trees).
