RSTP
The RSTP screens enable you to configure Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP). For more
on RSTP see
6.1.3.3: 802.1p-to-priority queue Mapping
.
4.4.3.1 RSTP: Bridge Settings
This screen enables you to configure bridge-specific Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP)
settings.
FIGURE 4–37: Ethernet: RSTP: Bridge Settings
The table below describes the bridge parameters you can view and configure in the RSTP:
Bridge Settings form.
Source Port:
Identifies the port associated with the address in the Source
Address column.
Entry Type:
There are three entry types:
• Static – Entries that are set by the user. These are not
removed automatically.
• Dynamic – Entries that are learned by the bridge. These are
removed automatically from the cache if they are
not refreshed in the "aging interval." (The aging
interval is specified in the
4.4.2.1 Bridge: Global
Settings
screen).
• Learned – A static address that is learned by the bridge
when address-based ethernet port security is
enabled for a port. Once a static address has been
learned for a secure port, the port will be disabled if
frames sourced from any other MAC address are
received. See the
4.8.2 Ethernet Port
screen for
more information.
