Chapter 13 Spanning Tree Protocol
Table 29 | Advanced Application > Spanning Tree Protocol > RSTP (continued) |
LABEL | DESCRIPTION |
Active | Select this check box to activate RSTP on this port. |
|
|
Edge | Select this check box to configure a port as an edge port when it is |
| directly attached to a computer. An edge port changes its initial STP |
| port state from blocking state to forwarding state immediately without |
| going through listening and learning states right after the port is |
| configured as an edge port or when its link status changes. |
| Note: An edge port becomes a |
| a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU). |
|
|
Priority | Configure the priority for each port here. |
| Priority decides which port should be disabled when more than one port |
| forms a loop in a switch. Ports with a higher priority numeric value are |
| disabled first. The allowed range is between 0 and 255 and the default |
| value is 128. |
|
|
Path Cost | 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 - see Table 26 on |
| page 148 for more information. |
|
|
Apply | Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s |
| Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the |
| Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non- |
| volatile memory when you are done configuring. |
|
|
Cancel | Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. |
