Enabling STP activates the STP or RSTP protocol for this port as per the

configuration of the Version support parameter (Bridge RSTP Parameters menu).

STP should be disabled for the port ONLY if the port does not attach to an STP

enabled bridge in any way. Failure to meet this requirement WILL result in an

undetectable traffic loop in the network. A more desirable alternative is disabling

the port is to leave STP enabled but to configure the port as an edge port. A good

candidate for disabling STP would be a port that is absolutely assured to services a

single host computer.

Priority

Selects the STP port priority part of the port ID. The port ID is composed of the

priority and port number. Ports of the same cost that attach to a common LAN

will select the port to be used based upon the port ID.

STP Cost

Selects to cost to use in cost calculations, when the Cost Style parameter is set to

STP on the Bridge RSTP Parameters menu. Setting the cost manually provides the

ability to preferentially select specific ports to carry traffic over others. Leave this

field set to "auto" to use the standard STP port costs as negotiated (100 for 10

Mbps links and 19 for 100 Mbps links).

RSTP Cost

Selects to cost to use in cost calculations, when the Cost Style parameter is set to

RSTP on the Bridge RSTP Parameters menu. Leave this field set to "auto" to use

the standard RSTP port costs as negotiated (2,000,000 for 10 Mbps links and

200,000 for 100 Mbps links).

Edge Port

Edge ports are ports that do not participate in the Spanning Tree, but still are sent

configuration messages. Edge ports transition directly to frame forwarding
