priority, the port with the lowest numeric identifier will be enabled. The range is 0-255.

•Cost - 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. (This takes precedence over port priority.)

•Fast Forwarding - This parameter is used to enable/disable the Fast Spanning Tree mode for the selected port.

VLAN Menu

The VLAN Menu is used to assign any port on the Switch to any of up to 256 VLAN groups.

This also provides a more secure and cleaner network environment.

•VLAN Port Configuration - Configure GARP, the default VLAN identi- fier, default port priority, VLAN tagging on the attached link, GVRP and

GARP

Group Address Registration Protocol is used by GVRP and GMRP to reg- ister or deregister client attributes for client services within a bridged LAN.

•Join Time - The interval (centiseconds) between transmitting requests/queries to participate in a group.

•Leave Time - The interval (centiseconds) a port waits before leaving a group. This time should be set to more than twice the Join Time. This
