Admin Edge:
Indicates whether or not this port is treated as an Edge Port and can immediately enter the
forwarding state. If set to Enabled, no BPDUs are expected to be received at the port. Set this option to Enable
only when an end device is linked to this port. The default value is Disabled.
Auto Edge:
Indicates whether or not to use a short timeout when waiting for BPDUs before determining that
this is an Edge Port (if no BPDUs are received). It may have to be disabled for a very large network. The
default value is Enabled.
Point to Point:
Displays whether at most one other network port is attached to the port’s LAN segment. The
port may transition to Forwarding very quickly on a point-to-point MAC link. Values may be Auto (full-duplex
links are assumed to be point-to-point, half duplex are not), and Force True or Force False (if the automatic
determination would be wrong). The default value is Auto.
Designated Bridge Identifier Priority:
The priority of the designated bridge associated with the port’s LAN
segment is shown in this field. The designated bridge provides the lowest cost path from this bridge port’s LAN
segment, through the designated bridge, to the root bridge.
Designated Bridge Identifier MAC:
Indicates the unique MAC of the designated bridge associated with the
port’s LAN segment.
Designated Port:
The designated port of the designated bridge is shown here.
Note:
When event logging is enabled, all RSTP controlled ports will log events about their status whether or
not the modular based port is currently installed.
Note:
When operating in a VLAN with legacy STP devices, set the Auto Edge field to Disabled for Bridge
Ports.
