D-Link DES-3226 manual Before Applying the STA Rules

DES-3226 NWay Standalone Fast Ethernet Switch User’s Guide

Setting-up STP using values other than the defaults can be complex. Therefore, you are advised to keep the default factory settings and STP will automatically assign root bridges/ports and block loop connections. Influencing STP to choose a particular switch as the root bridge using the Priority setting, or influencing STP to choose a particular port to block using the Port Priority and Port Cost settings is, however, relatively straight forward.
