DESCRIPTION

Priority

Priority is used in determining the root device, root port and designated port. The device

 

with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes the STP root device. If all

 

devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then

 

become the root device. The allowed range is 0 to 255. The lower the numeric value you

 

assign, the higher the priority for this device.

 

 

Path Cost

Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that port. It is assigned

 

according to the speed of the link. The slower the media, the higher the cost (refer to the

 

table on path cost in the section on STP).

16.6 Port 802.1x

Use the Port 802.1x screen to configure reauthentication for selected ports.

To open the configuration screen, right-click on the switch in the Device List Panel, and click Configuration > Ethernet Port > Port 802.1x. Then select a device and the port(s) to which you want to apply this configuration.
