Port Settings

STP and RSTP help guard against the formation of loops

in an Ethernet network topology. A loop occurs when

nodes transmit packets to each other over more than

one data path. Packets can become caught in repetitious

cycles that needlessly consume network bandwidth

whichthensignicantlyreducenetworkperformance.

With STP, you can set it up on a port per port basis

totofurtherhelpcongureyournetworktopology.

The Switch allows each port to have its own spanning

tree,andsowillrequiresomeofitsownconguration

settings.

Port:

The port or trunked ports you wish to

congure.

External Path Cost:

Thisdenesametricthatindicatesthe

relative cost of forwarding packets to

thespeciedportlist.Theportcostcan

be set automatically or as a metric value.

The default value is 0 (auto). Setting 0

for the external cost will automatically

set the speed for forwarding packets to

thespeciedport(s)inthelistforoptimal

efciency.Thedefaultportcostfora

100Mbps port is 200,000 and the default

port cost for a Gigabit port is 20000.

Enter a value between 1 and 200000000

to determine the External Cost. The lower

the number, the greater the probability

the port will be chosen to forward

packets.

Edge Port: Indicate whether the port is Enabled or

Disabled.

•Yes – Designates the port as an edge port.

• No – There is no edge port status.

P2P MAC:

A P2P port must operate in full duplex.

Like edge ports, P2P ports transition to a

forwardingstaterapidly,thusbenetingfrom

RSTP. Enable P2P for the device to establish

a point-to-point link, or specify for the device

to automatically establish a point-to-point

link. Select Yes or No from the list for point-

to-point(P2P) .

• Yes – Restricted in that a P2P port must

operate in full-duplex.

• No –There is no P2P port status.

Migration Start:

When operating in RSTP mode, enable this

function to force the port to use the new

MST/RST BPDUs and restart the migration

delay timer.
