This page allows you to enable/disable RSTP, configure the global setting and
port settings.
RSTP Mode
: You must first enable STP/RSTP mode, before configuring any
related parameters. Parameter settings required for both STP and RSTP are the
same. Note that 802.1d refers to STP mode, while 802.1w refers to faster RSTP
mode.
Bridge Configuration
Priority (0-61440)
: RSTP uses bridge ID to determine the root bridge, the bridge
with the highest bridge ID becomes the root bridge. The bridge ID is composed of
bridge priority and bridge MAC address. So that the bridge with the highest
priority becomes the highest bridge ID. If all the bridge ID has the same priority,
the bridge with the lowest MAC address will then become the root bridge.
Note: The bridge priority value must be in multiples of 4096. A device with a lower
number has a higher bridge priority. Ex: 4096 is higher than 32768.
