4.6.2 STP Global Settings 

This page allows you to configure STP system settings. The settings are used by all STP Bridge 

instances in the Switch. The Managed Switch support the following Spanning Tree protocols:   

 

Compatiable -- Spanning Tree Protocol (STP):

Provides a single path between end stations, 

avoiding and eliminating loops.   

 

Normal -- Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP): 

Detects and uses of network topologies that 

provide faster spanning tree convergence, without creating forwarding loops.   

 

Extension – Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP): 

Defines an extension to RSTP to further 

develop the usefulness of virtual LANs (VLANs). This "Per-VLAN" Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol 

configures a separate Spanning Tree for each VLAN group and blocks all but one of the possible 

alternate paths within each Spanning Tree. 

The STP Global Settings screens in Figure 4-6-4 and Figure 4-6-5 appear. 

Figure 4-6-4 Global Settings Page Screenshot 

 

The page includes the following fields: 

 

Object 

Description 

Enable 

Enable or disable the STP function.   

The default value is "Disabled". 

BPDU Forward 

Set the BPDU forward method. 

PathCost Method 

The path cost method is used 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. 

Force Version 

The STP protocol version setting. Valid values are STP-Compatible, 
RSTP-Operation and MSTP-Operation. 

Configuration Name 

Identifier used to identify the configuration currently being used. 

Configuration Revision 

Identifier used to identify the configuration currently being used.   

The values allowed are between 0 and 65535.   

The default value is 0.
