The following information appears in the Designated Root section of the page:

•Bridge ID—The bridge identifier, which is a concatenation of the bridge priority and the base MAC address of the bridge.

•Root Bridge ID—The Bridge ID of the root bridge. The bridge with the lowest Bridge ID among all the bridges become the root bridge.

•Root Port—The port number that offers the lowest-cost path from this bridge to the root bridge. It is significant when the bridge is not the root. The default is zero.

•Root Path Cost—The cost of the path from this bridge to the root.

•Topology Changes Count—The total amount of STP state changes that have occurred.

•Last Topology Change—The total amount of time since the last topographic change.

STEP 3 Click Apply. Your changes are saved to the Running Configuration.

Configuring STP Interface Settings

The STP Interface Settings page assigns STP properties to individual ports or

LAGs. These settings are applicable to both the Classic STP and Rapid STP.

To edit settings for a port or LAG:

STEP 1 Click Spanning Tree > STP Interface Settings in the navigation window.

The STP Interface Settings Table displays configuration information for each port and LAG. By default, all ports are enabled for STP operation.

NOTE: The list ports/LAGs might span more than one page. Use the Page list to display the next set of entries.

STEP 2 Select the port or LAG to configure and click Edit.

STEP 3 Enter the parameters:

SLM2008PTNA specifications

Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is a robust network switch designed specifically for small to medium-sized businesses. It operates with 8 Fast Ethernet ports, providing advanced features and best-in-class performance to enhance your network infrastructure. This model ensures seamless connectivity for multiple devices, making it an ideal choice for environments requiring reliable network communication.

One of the standout features of the SLM2008PTNA is its Layer 2 switching capabilities. This switch supports auto-negotiation, which allows each port to automatically detect the speed of the connected device and adjust accordingly. This ensures optimal performance and smooth operation across various connected devices. Additionally, the switch supports a non-blocking architecture, ensuring that bandwidth is not shared, which significantly enhances data transmission speed.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is another key technology incorporated into the Cisco SLM2008PTNA. It simplifies the installation of network devices such as VoIP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points by supplying power through the Ethernet cable. This eliminates the need for separate power sources, reducing installation costs and increasing flexibility in device placement.

Moreover, the SLM2008PTNA comes equipped with advanced security features, such as port security and VLAN support. Port security allows network administrators to restrict access to the network based on MAC addresses, preventing unauthorized access and enhancing network security. The support for Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs) enables the segmentation of the network into different logical networks, improving traffic management and security within each segment.

The switch is designed for easy management and monitoring, featuring a user-friendly web interface that simplifies configuration. This allows network administrators to quickly set up and manage the device without requiring extensive technical knowledge. Additionally, its compact design makes it suitable for desktop or rack-mount installation, maximizing space efficiency in network environments.

In conclusion, the Cisco Systems SLM2008PTNA is an essential component for small to medium-sized businesses looking to enhance their network performance. With its Layer 2 switching capabilities, Power over Ethernet support, advanced security features, and ease of management, this switch provides a well-rounded solution for modern networking needs, delivering reliable performance and scalability for growth.
