DESCRIPTION

Priority

 

Configure the priority for each port here.

 

 

Priority decides which port should be disabled when more than one port

 

 

forms a loop in the 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 that you 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.

 

 

 

Tree

 

Select which STP tree configuration this port should participate in.

 

 

 

Apply

 

Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The

 

 

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.
