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
