Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spanning Tree

ENABLED

Enables this parameter to participate in an STA

Protocol

 

compliant network.

 

 

 

 

 

Priority

32768

Device priority is used in selecting the root device,

 

 

root port, and designated port. The device with the

highest priority becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.

Enter a value from 0 - 65535.

Remember that the lower the numeric value, the higher the priority.
