•
Priority
: The port priority in the switch. Low numeric value indicates a
high priority. The port with lower priority is more likely to be blocked by
STP if a network loop is detected. The valid value is from 0 to 240.
•
Path Cost
: The valid value is from 1 to 200000000 or Auto. The path cost
of the user configuration is displayed in the AdminCost, and the operation
path cost is displayed in the OperCost. The higher cost is more likely to be
blocked by STP if a network loop is detected.
•
Edge Port
: All ports are set to be edge ports by default. Edge port
becomes STP port when BPDU is received. Also, it takes a very short time
for an edge port to be in forwarding state.
•
Point to Point: Auto/Yes/No
: A full duplex link is considered as a point
to point link. Otherwise, it is a shared link. Point to point link may have less
convergence time. Auto is recommended in most cases.
