Alternative Port: An alternative port to the root bridge that is also available in addition to
the current root port.
Backup Port: A reserve path that is provided via a designated port in the direction of the
branches of the tree structure.
Deactivated Port: A port that does not have any operating function in the tree structure.
Priority: Decides which port is treated with priority if the path costs to multiple ports are the
same. Priority must be a multiple of 16 between 0 and 240.
Costs: The path costs from this bridge to the opposite bridge. The costs can be between 1 and
200,000,000.
Defined: The costs of the connection to the root bridge can be specified to include cable
lengths or maximum data rates.
Designed: Calculated path costs.
Edge port: Indicates a port that is connected directly with an end station. These ports cannot
cause loops and therefore immediately change to forwarding mode. The status change of an
edge port will not lead to a change in the topology.
Force: The port is configured by default as an edge port.
Auto: The configuration as edge port takes place automatically.
After setting the RSTP parameters, these must be saved by clicking the apply button.
