D-Link DES-2218 manual Setting Spanning Tree Protocol Parameters

DES-2218 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

The Spanning Tree Protocol puts all root ports and designated ports in the forwarding state, while placing the others in the blocking state.

Setting Spanning Tree Protocol Parameters

To set the STP bridge parameters for the switch,

1.Choose Spanning Tree Algorithm Parameters from the main menu.

2.Choose Protocol Parameters from the Spanning Tree Algorithm Parameters menu.

3.The Protocol Parameters menu displays the current status of the Spanning Tree Algorithm’s operation on the DES-2218, and allows you to change several of the bridge parameters. All of these settings are described below.
