15
Data forwarding can be delayed by a preset
length of time. The delay time value may be
from 4~30 seconds. The default value is 5
seconds.
9.5.4 “Hello” Time
The Hello message (to the network)
broadcast time interval can be changed. The
"Hello" message is used to set up network
routing under the Spanning Tree protocol.
The interval can be 1~10 seconds. The
default value is 2 seconds.
9.5.5 Max Age
The "Hello" message time out period can be
changed. The time out period starts the
spanning tree elapse timing calculation once
the "Hello" message signal reception has
ceased. Once the Max Age time period is
exhausted, the network topology will change.
9.5.6 Aging Time
Self-learned or registered MAC addresses
that are not active will be erased after the
Aging Time has elapsed. The value can be set
anywhere from 10~1000000 seconds. The
default value is 300 seconds.
9.5.7 Port Priority
The priority of the STP port can be set from
0~255. Smaller values will have higher
priority. The default value is 128.
9.5.8 Path Cost
The primary bridge owns a lower cost than
the cost to other bridges so that the “Hello”
message issued from the primary bridge
automatically adds the cost to the message
received from its parent bridge. The “Hello”
message issued from a route bridge has 0 as
the route path cost.
9.6 Routing
Communication routing can be set between
WLM2-G54 and other network devices in
the same network. The following parameters
are supported:
RIP reception
Add Routing Table Entry
Routing Table Entries
9.6.1 RIP Reception
The RIP information received by the WLM2-
G54 can be set to RIP1, RIP2, RIP1 and RIP2,
or no RIP. The default is both RIP1 and RIP2.
9.6.2 Add Routing Table Entry
Routing (or RIP) information can be set
manually. The following parameters will be
used. Destination address=The network IP
address and the subnet mask for the
destination. Gateway=The packet to the
destination passes through the gateway
address.
Metric=total number of routers to be passed
before the packet reaches its destination. You
can select from 1~15. The default value is 15.
