Ethernet port (ETH B)	128	0-255	The preference that STP gives to
priority			this port relative to the other ports
			for forwarding traffic out of the
			spanning tree.
			A higher numerical value means
			a lower priority; thus, the highest
			priority is 8.
Radio port (Radio A)	100	0-65535	The cost of using the port to
path cost			reach the root bridge. When
			selecting among multiple links to
			the root bridge, STP chooses the
			link with the lowest path cost and
			blocks the other paths. Each port
			type has its own default STP path
			cost.
Radio port (Radio A)	128	0-255	The preference that STP gives to
priority			this port relative to the other ports
			for forwarding traffic out of the
			spanning tree.
			A higher numerical value means
			a lower priority; thus, the highest
			priority is 8.

The Radio and Ethernet interfaces are assigned to bridge group by default. When the user enables STP and assigns a priority on bridge, STP is enabled on the radio and Ethernet interfaces. The interfaces adopt the priority assigned to bridge.

The user can edit STP Priority, Bridge Max age, Bridge hello time, Forward Delay, STP Port priority and STP Port Path cost.

The Transparent Aging Time determines the time to refresh entries in the Forwarding Table. The Transparent Aging Time default value is 300 seconds.

Follow the steps below to configure the bridge STP for device in aCNPT Bridge:

1.Click on ’Networking Bridge Configuration’ to access the Bridge Configuration page.

2.Choose ’Enable’ from the Spanning Tree Protocol pull down list.

3.Click on the ’Generic Port Table’ link to change the Generic Parameters.

4.Enter a value for the ’STP Priority’.

5.Enter a value for the ’Bridge Max Age’.

6.Enter a value for the ’Bridge Hello Time’.

7.Enter a value for the ’Bridge Forward Delay’.

8.Click on ’Transparent Aging Time’ link to change the ’Transparent Aging Time’.

9.Click on the ’Spanning Tree Port Table’ link to change the ’STP Ethernet Port’ parameters.
