¾Port Config

Port Select: Click the Select button to quick-select the corresponding port based on

the port number you entered.

Port:

Displays the port number of the switch.

Status:

Select Enable /Disable STP function for the desired port.

Priority:

Enter a value from 0 to 240 divisible by 16. Port priority is an important

 

criterion on determining if the port connected to this port will be chosen

 

as the root port. The lower value has the higher priority.

ExtPath:

ExtPath Cost is used to choose the path and calculate the path costs

 

of ports in different MST regions. It is an important criterion on

 

determining the root port. The lower value has the higher priority.

IntPath:

IntPath Cost is used to choose the path and calculate the path costs of

 

ports in an MST region. It is an important criterion on determining the

 

root port. The lower value has the higher priority.

Edge Port:

Select Enable/Disable Edge Port. The edge port can transit its state

 

from blocking to forwarding rapidly without waiting for forward delay.

P2P Link:

Select the P2P link status. If the two ports in the P2P link are root port

 

or designated port, they can transit their states to forwarding rapidly to

 

reduce the unnecessary forward delay.

MCheck:

Select Enable to perform MCheck operation on the port. Unchange

 

means no MCheck operation.

STP Version:

Displays the STP version of the port.
