Parameter

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STP Mode

 

The STP administrative mode associated with this port.

 

 

 

 

 

Options: Off, 802.1D, or Fast

 

 

 

 

 

Default: Off

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STP Mode

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Off

Disables STP for this port.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

802.1D

Enables this port to participate in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

spanning tree and go through all of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

spanning tree states when the link state

 

 

 

 

 

 

transitions from down to up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fast

Enables this port to participate in the

 

 

 

 

 

 

spanning tree and puts it in the forwarding

 

 

 

 

 

 

state when the link state transitions from

 

 

 

 

 

 

down to up more quickly than when the

 

 

 

 

 

 

STP mode is set to 802.1D.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note In this state, the forwarding delay

 

 

 

 

 

 

timer is ignored on link up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STP Port Priority

The location of the port in the network topology and how well the port

 

 

 

 

 

is located to pass traffic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Range: 0 to 255

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default: 128

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STP Port Path Cost Mode

Determines whether the STP port path cost is set automatically or

 

 

 

 

 

specified by the user. If you choose User Configured, you also need to

 

 

 

 

 

set a value for the STP Port Path Cost parameter.

 

 

 

 

 

Range: Auto or User Configured

 

 

 

 

 

Default: Auto

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STP Port Path Cost

The speed at which traffic is passed through the port. This parameter

 

 

 

 

 

must be set if the STP Port Path Cost Mode parameter is set to User

 

 

 

 

 

Configured.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Options: 0 to 65535

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Default: 0, which causes the cost to be adjusted for the speed of the

 

 

 

 

 

port when the link comes up.

 

 

 

 

 

Note Typically, a value of 100 is used for 10-Mbps ports and 19 for

 

 

 

 

 

100-Mbps ports.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4

Click Save Configuration to save your changes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 5

Click Back to return to the Ports page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6

Repeat Step 2 through Step 5 for each port for which you want to enable STP.

 

 

Step 7

Click Controller > Spanning Tree to access the Controller Spanning Tree Configuration page (see

 

 

 

Figure 3-10).
