Parameter | Default | Description |
|
Path Cost | 100/19/4 | This parameter is used by the STA algorithm 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. | |
|
| The default and recommended range is: | |
|
| Standard Ethernet: 100 (50~600) | |
|
| Fast Ethernet: | 19 (10~60) |
|
| Gigabit Ethernet: | 4 (3~10) |
|
| The full range is 1 - 65535. | |
|
| Note: Path cost takes precedence over port priority. | |
Fast | Enabled | This enables/disables Fast Forwarding for the | |
Forward |
| selected port. In this mode, ports skip the Blocked, | |
|
| Listening and Learning states and proceed straight | |
|
| to Forwarding. Fast Forwarding enables | |
|
| workstations and servers to overcome | |
problems when the Spanning Tree Algorithm is implemented in a network. Therefore, Fast Forwarding should only be enabled for ports that are connected to an
