DGS-3024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each Switch on the hop count will reduce the hop count by one until the value

 

 

reaches zero. The Switch will then discard the BDPU packet and the information

 

 

 

held for the port will age out. The user may set a hop count from 1 to 20. The

 

 

 

default is 20.

 

 

 

 

 

 

TX Hold Count (1-10)

Used to set the maximum number of Hello packets transmitted per interval. The

 

 

 

count can be specified from 1 to 10. The default is 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Forwarding BPDU

This field can be Enabled or Disabled. When Enabled, it allows the forwarding of

 

 

 

STP BPDU packets from other network devices. The default is Enabled.

 

 

 

 

 

Click Apply to implement changes made.

NOTE: The Hello Time cannot be longer than the Max. Age. Otherwise, a configuration error will occur. Observe the following formulas when setting the above parameters:

Max. Age ≤ 2 x (Forward Delay - 1 second)

Max. Age ≥ 2 x (Hello Time + 1 second)

MST Configuration Table

The following windows allow the user to configure a MSTI instance on the Switch. These settings will uniquely identify a multiple spanning tree instance set on the Switch. The Switch initially possesses one CIST or Common Internal Spanning Tree of which the user may modify the parameters for but cannot change the MSTI ID for, and cannot be deleted. To view the Current MST Configuration Identification window, click Configuration > Spanning Tree > MST Configuration Table:

Figure 7- 16. Current MST Configuration Identification window

The window above contains the following information:

ParameterDescription

Configuration Name

A previously configured name set on the Switch to uniquely identify the MSTI (Multiple Spanning Tree Instance) If a configuration name is not set this field will show the
