4.3.3.3 STP Per-Port Configuration
STP allows the switch to assign a
priority status to each of its ports with
respect to other networking nodes in
the network. In other words, STP
determines the best route for data to
flow given the priority level of each
node on the network. ensure that this
function is activated to avoid collisions
and when setting up backup links.
Port Type Priority:
Set the priority of
each port. The limits are 1 – 255. The
lowest number is highest priority, and
the default priority is set to 128 — the midpoint of the range.
Cost:
Setting the cost will determine the route of information flow. The higher the cost the less
suitable the port is to being a node for the STP.

4.3.3.4 Jet Ring Status
NOTE:
For the Jet Ring Status screen to be viewable, “Jet Ring” must be selected on the
Bridge Configuration screen (see
4.3.3.1
above).
Master Bridge
MAC Address:
displays the MAC
address of the
switch in the ring.
Jet Ring Total
Nodes:
This is the
number of switches
forming the ring.
Bridge Role:
The
role of the switch.
Port Role:
The role
of each port.
Ring Port:
displays
which of the ports are serving as ring ports.
4.3.3.5 Xpress Ring Configuration
Select the switch’s role in the Xpress Ring network and the ports that will be part of the Xpress
Ring. If the network’s configuration changes (e.g., due to a node failure or added switch), make
sure these settings are still valid — if the ring is set for XPress Ring.
Xpress Ring Role:
When set as
“Arbiter,” the switch receives status
reports from other switches in the
ring and determines the ring’s
recovery behaviors. When set as
“Forward,” the switch forward’s
the received status reports on the
other side of the ring ports.
