The STP Interface Parameters Modify Page contains the following fields:
Table 3-26 STP Interface Parameters Modify Page item description
| Item |
| Description |
|
|
| Specifies if STP is enabled on the port. The possible field values are: |
| STP |
| z No Change: Retains the current port status. |
|
| z Enabled: Indicates that STP is enabled on the port. | |
|
|
| z Disabled: Indicates that STP is disabled on the port. This is the default |
|
|
| value. |
|
|
| Specifies if Fast Link is enabled on the port. If Fast Link mode is enabled for |
|
|
| a port, the port is automatically placed in the Forwarding state when the port |
|
|
| link is up. Fast Link optimizes the STP protocol convergence. STP |
|
|
| convergence takes 30 seconds and is not dependent on the number of |
| Port Fast |
| switches in the network. The possible field values are: |
|
|
| z No Change: Retains the current port status. |
|
|
| z Enabled: Indicates fast link is enabled on the port. |
|
|
| z Disabled: Indicates fast link is disabled on the port. This is the default |
|
|
| value. |
|
|
| Restricts the interface from acting as the root port of the switch. The possible |
|
|
| field values are: |
| Root Guard |
| z No Change: Retains the current port status. |
|
| z Enabled: Indicates Root Guard is enabled on the port. | |
|
|
| |
|
|
| z Disabled: Indicates Root Guard is disabled on the port. This is the default |
|
|
| value. |
|
|
| Specifies if Default Path Cost is enabled. The possible field values are: |
| Default Path Cost |
| z No Change: Retains the current port status. |
|
| z Enabled: Enables the default path cost on the port. This is the default | |
|
|
| value. |
|
|
| z Disabled: Disables the default path cost on the port. |
