DGS-3024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual
The following parameters can be set:
Parameter Description
STP Status
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable STP globally on the Switch. The default is
Disabled
.
STP Version
Use the pull-down menu to choose the desired version of STP to be implemented on the Switch.
There are three choices:
•
STP
- Select this parameter to set the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) globally on the Switch.
•
RSTP
- Select this parameter to set the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) globally on
the Switch.
•
MSTP
- Select this parameter to set the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) globally on
the Switch.
Hello Time (1-
10 Sec)
The Hello Time can be set from
1
to
10
seconds. This is the interval between two transmissions of
BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to tell all other Switches that it is indeed the Root Bridge.
This field will only appear here when STP or RSTP is selected for the STP Version. For MSTP, the
Hello Time must be set on a port per port basis. See the STP Port Settings section for further
details.
Max Age (6-40
Sec)
The Max Age may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly circulate through
redundant paths in the network, preventing the effective propagation of the new information. Set
by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in determining that the Switch has spanning tree
configuration values consistent with other devices on the bridged LAN. If the value ages out and a
BPDU has still not been received from the Root Bridge, the Switch will start sending its own BPDU
to all other Switches for permission to become the Root Bridge. If it turns out that your Switch has
the lowest Bridge Identifier, it will become the Root Bridge. The user may choose a time between
6
and
40
seconds. The default value is
20
.
Forward Delay
(4 - 30 Sec)
The Forward Delay can be from
4
to
30
seconds. Any port on the Switch spends this time in the
listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state.
Max Hops (1-
20)
Used to set the number of hops between devices in a spanning tree region before the BPDU
(bridge protocol data unit) packet sent by the Switch will be discarded. Each Switch on the hop
count will reduce the hop count by one until the value reaches zero. The Switch will then discard
the BDPU packet and the information held for the port will age out. The user may set a hop count
from
1
to
20
. The default is
20
.
TX Hold Count
(1-10)
Used to set the maximum number of Hello packets transmitted per interval. The count can be
specified from
1
to
10
. The default is
3
.
Forwarding
BPDU
This field can be
Enabled
or
Disabled.
When
Enabled,
it allows the forwarding of STP BPDU
packets from other network devices. The default is Enabled.
LBD
This feature is used to temporarily block STP on the Switch when a BPDU packet has been
looped back to the switch. When the Switch detects its own BPDU packet coming back, it signifies
a loop on the network. STP will automatically be blocked and an alert will be sent to the
administrator. The LBD STP port will restart (change to discarding state) when the
LBD Recover
Time
times out. The user may enable or disable this function using the pull-down menu. The
default is enabled.
LBD Recover
Time
This field will set the time the STP port will wait before recovering the STP state set.
0
will denote
that the LBD will never time out or restart until the administrator personally changes it. The user
may also set a time between
60
and
1000000
seconds. The default is
60
seconds.
Click
Apply
to implement changes made.
NOTE:
The Hello Time cannot be longer than the Max. Age. Otherwise, a configuration
error will occur. Observe the following formulas when setting the above parameters:
Max. Age
≤
2 x (Forward Delay - 1 second)
Max. Age
≥
2 x (Hello Time + 1 second)
