| DESCRIPTION |
Priority |
| Priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated |
|
| port. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) |
|
| becomes the STP root switch. If all switches have the same priority, the |
|
| switch with the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch. |
|
| Enter a value from 0~61440. |
|
| The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this |
|
| bridge. |
|
| Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines the Root |
|
| Hello Time, Root Maximum Age and Root Forwarding Delay. |
|
|
|
Pathcost |
| Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that |
|
| port. It is recommended to assign this value according to the speed of |
|
| the bridge. The slower the media, the higher the cost. |
