D-Link DGS-3324SRi Intelligent Stackable Gigabit Ethernet Switch
39
Parameter
Description
Unit
This is the Unit ID of a switch in a switch stack.
15
indicates a DGS-
3324SRi switch in standalone mode.
From/To <
Port 1
>
A consecutive group of ports may be configured starting with the selected
port.
State <
Disabled
>
This drop-down menu allows you to enable or disable
STP for the selected
group of ports.
Cost <
0
= Auto
>
A Port Cost can be set from
1
to
200000000
. The lower the number, the
greater the probability the port will be chosen to forward packets.
Default port cost:
100Mbps port = 200000
Gigabit ports = 20000
Priority
<0>
A
Port Priority
value can be from
0
to
240
. The lower the number, the
greater the probability the port will be chosen as the Root Port.
Migration
<No>
Select Y
es
or
No
. Choosing
Yes
will enable the port to migrate from 802.1d
STP status to 802.1w RSTP status. RSTP can coexist with standard STP,
however the benefits of RSTP are not realized on a port where an 802.1d
network connects to an 802.1w enabled network. Migration should be
enabled (yes) on ports connected to network stations or segments that will
be upgraded to 802.1w RSTP on all or some portion of the segment.
Edge
<No>
Select
Yes
or
No.
Choosing
Yes
designates the port as an edge port. Edge
ports cannot create loops, however an edge port can lose edge port status
if a topology change creates a potential for a loop. An edge port normally
should not receive BPDU packets. If a BPDU packet is received it
automatically loses edge port status.
No
indicates the port does not have
edge port status.
P2P
<No>
Select
Yes
or
No
. Choosing
Yes
indicates a point-to-point (p2p) shared
link. These are similar to edge ports however they are restricted in that a
p2p port must operate in full-duplex. Like edge ports, p2p ports transition to
a forwarding state rapidly thus benefiting from RSTP.
Configuring Forwarding & Filtering
Static Unicast Forwarding
Open the
Forwarding & Filtering
folder in the
Configuration
menu and click on the
Unicast Forwarding
link. This will open the
Setup Static Unicast Forwarding Table
, as shown below.
