Edge:
If a port is directly connected with a device, the port should be set as an
edge port. Edge ports feature faster status transition, taking a shorter time to
change from blocking state into forwarding state.
Path Cost:
Sets a value ranging 0 to 200000000. “Auto” indicates that the XMS-
1008P will automatically determine the lowest port path cost depending on the
port rate.
5.11.3 RSTP Status
RSTP Bridge Overview:
Displays the Bridge ID, Hello time, Maximum Aging Time,
Forwarding Delay, Topology, and Root Bridge ID specifi ed by the system
RSTP Port Status:
Displays the Path Cost, Edge Port setting, P2P Port, Protocol, and
Port State specifi ed by the system.
5.12 IGMP Snooping
IGMP Snooping is used to implement dynamic registration of L2 multicast on
the switch. To accommodate L2 multicast with IGMP Snooping, IGMP must be
activated on the client device and router as the XMS-1008P only snoops the IGMP
messages transmitted by the client device and router to dynamically maintain
the L2 multicast group. Multicast registration on this switch does not affect the
settings of other switches in the environment. The switch transmits an IGMP query
message and receives the IGMP response from the client device. Based on the
receiving port, VLAN ID, and multicast of the IGMP packets, the XMS-1008P creates
and maintains a multicast group. After creating a group, it forwards the IGMP
packets to other switches and routers in the network. Only the ports included in a
multicast group can receive the multicast data stream. This reduces network traffi c
and saves network bandwidth.
