Setup
Use the Setup tab to configure the spanning tree
settings for each port. The following options are
available:
■ Status – Enables and disables spanning tree for the
port.
■ Edged Port – Enables and disables edged port for
the port.
■ Link Type – Choose between Point-to-Point, Shared,
or Auto for the link type.
■ Path Cost – The path cost is used to determine the
best path between devices. The path cost method is
used to determine the range of values that can be
assigned to each interface.
■ Port Priority – Used in selecting the root device, root
port, and designated port. The device with the
highest priority becomes the STA root device.
However, if all devices have the same priority, the
device with the lowest MAC address will then
become the root device.
If you modify any of these settings, click Apply to save
your changes.
