Active |
| Select this check box to activate RSTP on this port. |
|
|
|
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 25 on |
|
| page 126 for more information. |
