Spanning Tree Tab on SRW2048 Switches - MSTP Interface Settings
The
MSTP Interface Settings
screen contains parameters assigning MSTP settings to specific interfaces.
Instance ID
. Lists the MSTP instances configured on the device. Possible field range is 1-15.
Interface
. Assigns either ports or LAGs to the selected MSTP instance.
MSTP
. Indicates that MSTP is enabled on this interface.
Port State
. Indicates whether the port is enabled or disabled in the specific instance.
Type
. Indicates whether MSTP treats the port as a point-to-point port, or a port connected to a hub, and whether
the port is internal to the MST region or a boundary port. A Master port provides connectivity from a MSTP region
to the outlying CIST root. A Boundary port attaches MST bridges to LAN in an outlying region. If the port is a
boundary port, it also indicates whether the device on the other side of the link is working in RSTP or STP mode.
Role
. Indicates the port role assigned by the STP algorithm in order to provide to STP paths. The possible field
values are:
Root - Provides the lowest cost path to forward packets to root device.
Designated - Indicates the port or LAG via which the designated device is attached to the LAN.
Alternate - Provides an alternate path to the root device from the root interface.
Backup - Provides a backup path to the designated port path toward the Spanning Tree leaves. Backup ports
occur only when two ports are connected in a loop by a point-to-point link. Backup ports also occur when a
LAN has two or more connections connected to a shared segment.
Disabled - Indicates the port is not participating in the Spanning Tree.
Mode
. Mode of Spanning Tree protocol.
Interface Priority (0-240,in steps of 16)
. Defines the interface priority for specified instance. The default value
is 128.
Path Cost
. Indicates the port contribution to the Spanning Tree instance. The range should always be 1-
200,000,000.
