STP Port Settings
The STP Port Setting page allows you to change the port priority and its path cost. After
STP/RSTP is enabled, the system automatically assigns the port priority and path cost to the
port. Normally, it is necessary to change the parameters, however, you may need to control
the root switch or block port in some condition.
This page allows you to change the STP port setting. Select the port number, type the value of
the Priority and Root Path Cost. Click
"Submit"
to apply the settings.

Port No:
The port ID. It cannot be changed. Aggregations mean any configured trunk
group.
z
Root Path Cost:
This parameter is used by the STP to determine the best path between
devices. Therefore, lower values should be assigned to ports attached to faster media,
and higher values assigned to ports with slower media. Set the RSTP path cost on the
port. Number between 0 - 200000000. 0 means auto generated path cost.
