Using the Spanning Tree Algorithm

Parameter

Default

Description

 

 

 

Cost

100/19/4

This parameter (path cost) is used by the STA 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.

 

 

(Path cost takes precedence over port priority.)

 

 

The default and recommended range is:

 

 

Ethernet: 100 (50~600)

 

 

Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)

 

 

Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)

 

 

The full range is 0 - 65535.

 

 

 

Fast Forwarding

ENABLED

Enables or disables the port to forward packets. All

 

 

ports currently displayed can be enabled or disabled at

 

 

once using the command near the top of the screen.
