GE 82-POE Path Cost, Enter a number 1 through 200,000,000, Admin P2P, Admin Edge, Admin Non STP

Chapter 4: Web-Based Management

This page includes the following fields:

OBJECT	DESCRIPTION
	The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at
Path Cost	the specified port.
	Enter a number 1 through 200,000,000.
	Decide which port should be blocked by setting its priority as the lowest.
Priority	Enter a number between 0 and 240.
	The value of priority must be the multiple of 16.
	The rapid state transitions possible within RSTP are dependent upon
	whether the port concerned can only be connected to exactly another
	bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or can be
	connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared medium
	LAN segment). This function allows the P2P status of the link to be
Admin P2P	manipulated administratively.
	• YES means the port is regarded as a point-to-point link.
	• NO means the port is regarded as a shared link.
	• AUTO means the link type is determined by the auto-negotiation
	between the two peers..
	The port directly connected to end stations won't create bridging loop
Admin Edge	in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, set the port to
	"YES" status.
	The port includes the STP mathematic calculation.
Admin Non STP	• YES is not including STP mathematic calculation.
	• NO is including the STP mathematic calculation.

NOTE: Path cost "0" is used to indicate auto-configuration mode. When the short path cost method is selected and the default path cost recommended by the IEEE 8021w standard exceeds 65,535, the default is set to 65,535.

By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode used on each port, and configures the path cost according to the values shown below.
