Note:
Fast Forwarding enables end-node workstations and servers
to overcome time-out problems when the Spanning Tree
Algorithm is implemented in a network. Therefore, Fast
Forwarding should only be enabled for ports connected to
an end-node device.
Viewing the Current Spanning Tree Information
The Spanning Tree Information screen displays a summary of the
STA information for the overall bridge or for a specific port. To
make any changes to the parameters for the Spanning Tree, use
the Spanning Tree Configuration menu.
(Path) Cost
100/19/4
This parameter is used by the STA algorithm to
determine the best path between devices.
Therefore, lower values should be assigned to
ports attached to faster media, and higher values
assigned to ports with slower media.
(Path cost takes precedence over port priority.)
The default and recommended range is:
Ethernet: 100 (50~600)
Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)
Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)
The full range is 1 - 65535.
Fast
Forwarding
Enabled
This parameter is used to enable/disabled the
Fast Spanning Tree mode for the selected port.
In this mode, ports skip the Blocked, Listening
and Learning states and proceed straight to
Forwarding.
