Bridge Configuration

The Bridge Configuration screen allows you to configure global bridge settings.

•Spanning Tree - Enable this parameter to participate in a STA compliant network.

•Bridge 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 pri- ority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device. Enter a value from 0-65535. The lower the numeric value, the higher the priority.

•Hello Time - Time interval (in seconds) at which the root device trans- mits a configuration message.

•Forward Delay - The maximum time (in seconds the root device will wait before changing states.

•Max Age - The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.

•GMRP - GMRP allows network devices to register endstations with multicast groups.

EtherFast® Managed 24-Port with Dual Gigabit Switch

•GVRP - GVRP defines a way for switches to exchange VLAN informa- tion in order to register VLAN members on ports across the network. This function should be enabled to permit automatic VLAN registration, and to support VLANs which extend beyond the local switch.

•Priority Threshold - This Switch supports Quality of Service (QoS) by using two priority queues, with Weighted Fair Queuing for each port.

•Aging Time - Time-out period in seconds for aging out dynamically learned forwarding information. Range varies from 10-415 seconds.

Spanning Tree Port Configuration

The Spanning Tree Port Configuration allows you to configure spanning tree port settings.

•Type - Shows port type as 100TX for 10Base-T/100Base-TX, or 1000T for 1000Base-T.

•Priority - 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 (that is, lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the Spanning Tree. When more than one port is assigned the highest
