The STP Interface Parameters Modify Page contains the following fields:

Table 3-26STP 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.
