RSTP Port Configuration
¾ Port: The port ID. It cannot be changed. Aggregations mean any configured
trunk group.
¾ Enabled: Click on the tick-box to enable/disable the RSTP protocol for the
port.
¾ Edge: Expect the port to be an edge port (linking to an end station) or a link
to another STP device.
¾ Path Cost: This parameter is used by the STP to determine the best path
between devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports
attached to faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with slower
media. Set the RSTP pathcost on the port. Number between 0 - 200000000.
0 means auto generated pathcost.
802.1X Configuration
IEEE802.1X provides a security standard for network access control, specially
in Wi-Fi wireless networks. 802.1x holds a network port disconnected until
authentication is completed. The switch uses Extensible Autentication Protocol
over LANS to exchange authentication protocol client identity with the client,
