DESCRIPTION

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.

 

 

 

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.
