Husky HME-421E, HME-423E Port, Path Cost, Priority, Admin P2P, Admin Edge, Admin Non Stp

	Configuration Using a Web Browser
The administrator can use this interface to configure path cost and priority of every port.
Port	Select the port that you want to configure.
	This feature allows the administrator to configure the cost of the path to
Path Cost	the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified port. Enter a
	number between 1 and 200000000.
	This feature allows the administrator to configure which port should be
Priority	blocked by priority in LAN. Enter a number between 0 and 240. The value
	of priority must be the multiple of 16.
	Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are
	dependent upon whether the port concerned can only be connected to
	exactly one other bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN
Admin P2P	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 manipulated administratively. True is to enable P2P
	function. False is to disable P2P.
Admin Edge	The port directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loop in
	the network. To configure the port as an edge port, set the port to True.
	The port includes the STP mathematic calculation. True is not including
Admin Non Stp	STP mathematic calculation. False is including the STP mathematic
	calculation.

4-6.17 X-Ring Configuration

HME-421E/423E provides redundant self-recovery mechanism named as X-Ring. When compared with the commercial standard redundant technologies like STP or RSTP, the X-Ring can effectively reduce the recovery time to less than 300ms. The Ring Topology must be applied to all the connected switches.

When all switches are connected in a ring topology with X-Ring function enabled, one of the switches will be appointed as “Ring Master.” The ring master will monitor the ring’s health to make sure the ring is working properly. Once a failure is detected by the ring master, the ring master will activate the blocked backup path within milliseconds to replace the faulty primary transmission path to make sure the ring will continue to work.

In the X-Ring topology, every switch should enable X-Ring function and assign two member ports to form the
