Configuring Interface Settings for STA
Use the Spanning Tree > STA (Configure Interface - Configure) page to configure
RSTP and MSTP attributes for specific interfaces, including port priority, path cost,
link type, and edge port. You may use a different priority or path cost for ports of
the same media type to indicate the preferred path, link type to indicate a point-to-
point connection or shared-media connection, and edge port to indicate if the
attached device can support fast forw
arding. (References to “ports” in this section
means “interfaces,” which includes both ports and trunks.)
Parameters
These parameters are displayed:
◆
Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.
◆
Spanning Tree – Enables/disables STA on this interface. (Default: Enabled)
