OBJECT DESCRIPTION
Path Cost
The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at
the specified port.
Enter a number 1 through 200,000,000.
Priority
Decide which port should be blocked by setting its priority as the lowest.
Enter a number between 0 and 240.
The value of priority must be the multiple of 16.
Admin P2P
The rapid state transitions possible within RSTP are dependent upon
whether the port concerned can only be connected to exactly another
bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or can be
connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared medium
LAN segment). This function allows the P2P status of the link to be
manipulated administratively.
• YES means the port is regarded as a point-to-point link.
• NO means the port is regarded as a shared link.
• AUTO means the link type is determined by the auto-negotiation
between the two peers..
Admin Edge
The port directly connected to end stations won't create bridging loop
in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, set the port to
"YES" status.
Admin Non STP
The port includes the STP mathematic calculation.
• YES is not including STP mathematic calculation.
• NO is including the STP mathematic calculation.
NOTE: Path cost "0" is used to indicate auto-configuration mode. When the short path
cost method is selected and the default path cost recommended by the IEEE 8021w
standard exceeds 65,535, the default is set to 65,535.
By default, the system automatically detects the speed and duplex mode used on
each port, and configures the path cost according to the values shown below.
