Port Configuration
Path Cost
The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the
specified port. Enter a number from 1 through 200000000.
Priority
Decide which port should be blocked by priority on your LAN. Enter a number
from 0 through 240 in increments of 16.
Link Type
Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are
dependent upon whether the port in question is connected to exactly one other
bridge (that is, it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or if it's
connected to two or more bridges (that is, it is served by a shared medium
LAN segment). This configuration allows the p2p status of the link to be
controlled by an administrator.
Edge Port
Present in implementations that support the identification of edge ports. All
ports directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loops in the
network and can thus directly transition to forwarding, and skipping the
listening and learning stages. When the non-bridge device connects an edge
port, this port is in a blocking state and turn to forwarding state in 2*Hello
Time seconds. When the bridge device connects an edge port, this port is a
non-edge port automatic.

Note: You must Save the settings ( Page 136 ), if you want to maintain these
settings if the ES7528 is powered off.
