CANOGA PERKINS 9160 10 Gigabit Ethernet Network Interface Device - Manual (Page 32)

2. At the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu, type the number for an item and press <Enter>,
then follow the prompts to set values for these parameters:
• Admin Mode: Enable or disable STP protocol.
• Version: Shows which IEEE specification this meets; d = Standard; w = Rapid; s = Multiple
• Configuration Name: Name for configuration, typically MAC address, up to 32 characters
• Configuration Revision: Set a revision level between 1 and 65535
• Priority: Set the relative precedence within the STP control structure for the 9160, from 1
(highest) to 65534 (lowest). The highest priority sets the root bridge, the bridge that controls
the spanning tree. If two or more bridges share the same priority, the lowest MAC address
defines the highest priority.
• Hello Time (sec): Set how often the 9160 sends BPDUs if this 9160 is the Spanning Tree
root.
• Forward Delay (sec): Set the time between port state transitions from Learning to Forward if
this bridge is the STP root.
• Max Age (sec): Set the Timeout value, how fast the 9160 deletes addresses from the
forwarding database.
3. To view or update parameters for a specific port, type 9, "View/Change Interface," and press
<Enter>. You can edit various parameters, such as Admin Mode, Priority, Path Cost, and Edge
Port.
4. To return to the Switch Configuration menu, press <Esc>.
Set Up LAGs
A LAG is a group of physical ports; for best results, make sure that the number of ports in each LAG
matches at the source and the destination. When a port is assigned to a LAG, it is dedicated to that
LAG and cannot be used for another purpose. Use the Lag Configuration and Information screen to
view and set LAG parameters for the 9160. To access the Lag Configuration screen, follow these
steps:
1. From the Switch Configuration menu, type 4, "Lag Configuration," and press <Enter>.
2. At the Lag Configuration screen, type the number for an item and press <Enter>, then type the
LAG name or press <Space> to cycle through existing LAG names, and press <Enter>. Follow
the prompts on the screen to update parameters as needed.
3. To return to the Switch Configuration menu, press <Esc>.
