Per Port Configuration
You can configure path cost and priority of every port.
1. Select the port in Port column.
2. Assign
the Path Cost. It is the cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting
bridge at the specified port. The value range is from 1 to 200000000. The default is
200000.
3. Assign the port priority value. It decides which port should be blocked by priority in
LAN. The valid value is from 0 to 240. The lowest value has higher priority. The default
is 128. Priority must be a multiple of 16.
4. Assign the Admin P2P. From RSTP’s view, a port is a point-to-point link if it is in
full-duplex mode but is shared link if it is in half-duplex mode. RSTP fast convergence
can only happen on point-to-point links and on edge ports. This can expedite the
convergence because this will have the port fast transited to forwarding state. There
are three parameters, Auto, True and False, used to configure the type of the
point-to-point link. If configuring this parameter to be Auto, it means RSTP will use the
duplex mode resulted from the auto-negotiation. In today’s switched networks, most
links are running in full-duplex mode. For sure, the result may be half-duplex, in this
case, the port will not fast transit to Forwarding state. If it is set as True, the port is
treated as point-to-point link by RSTP and unconditionally transited to Forwarding state.
If it is set as False, fast transition to Forwarding state will not happen on this port. The
default is Auto.
5. Assign the Admin Edge. If user selects “True”, this port will be an edge port. An Edge
Port is a port connected to a device that knows nothing about STP or RSTP. Usually,
the connected device is an end station. Edge Ports will immediately transit to
forwarding state and skip the listening and learning state because the edge ports
cannot create bridging loops in the network. This will expedite the convergence. When
the link on the edge port toggles, the STP topology keeps unchanged. Unlike the
designate port or root port though, an edge port will transit to a normal spanning-tree
port immediately if it receives a BPDU. The default is True.
6. Assign the Admin Non Stp. The port includes the STP mathematic calculation. True is
not including STP mathematic calculation. False is including the STP mathematic
calculation. The default is False.
7. Click “Apply” button to apply your setting.
Note: If the trunk group exists, you can see it in port menu (ex: Trunk. 1), and you also can
configure it for spanning tree configuration.

User can view the RSTP port status showed in bottom of webpage. It will display the status
of every port.
