Bay Technical Associates 350 Spanning Tree Port Configuration screen fields, Participation, State

		Using the Console Interface
	Table 3-13 describes the Spanning Tree Port Configuration screen fields.
Table 3-13.	Spanning Tree Port Configuration screen fields
Field	Description
Port	Indicates the switch port numbers, from 1 to 16, that correspond to the field settings in
	that row of the screen (for example, the field settings in row 2 apply to switch port 2).
	Note that the settings in the All row (bottom row) affect all 16 switch ports.
Participation	Allows you to prevent any (or all) of the switch ports from participating in the STA.
	Default Value	Enabled
	Range	Enabled, Disabled
Priority	This read-only field is a bridge spanning tree parameter that prioritizes the port’s lowest
	path cost to the root. When one or more ports have the same path cost, the STA selects
	the path with the highest priority (lowest numerical value). See also Path Cost.
	Default Value	128
	Range	0 to 255
Path Cost	This read-only field is a bridge spanning tree parameter that determines the lowest path
	cost to the root.
	Default Value	10 or 100
		Path Cost = 1000/LAN speed (in Mb/s)
		The higher the LAN speed, the lower the path cost.
		See also Priority.
	Range	1 to 65535
State	This read-only field indicates the current port state within the spanning tree network.
	Each port can transition to various states, as determined by the Participation field
	setting. For example, when the Participation field is set to Disabled, the port does not
	participate in the STA and transitions to the Forwarding state (the default). When the
	Participation field is set to Enabled, the port transitions from the Disabled state through
	the Blocking, Listening, and Learning states before entering the Forwarding state.
	Default Value	Topology dependent
	Range	Disabled, Blocking, Listening, Learning, Forwarding
