45
value is the time that a port waits before
changing from Spanning Tree Protocol learning
and listening states to forwarding state. This is
the amount of time this switch will wait before
checking to see if it should be changed to a
different state.
Once you have completed your configuration, click the Apply button to apply your
settings.
Note: You must observe the following rules to configure Hello Time, Forwarding
Delay, and Max Age parameters.
2 × (Forward Delay Time – 1 sec) >= Max Age Time >= 2 × (Hello Time value + 1
sec)
Port Configuration
Select the port you want to configure; you will be able to view the current
settings and status of the port.
Path Cost
Enter a number between 1 and 200,000,000. This value
represents the “cost” of the path to the other bridge from the
transmitting bridge at the specified port.
Priority
Enter a value between 0 and 240 using multiples of 16. This is
the value that decides which port should be blocked by priority in
a LAN.
Admin P2P
Some of the rapid state transitions that are possible within RSTP
depend upon whether the port of concern can only be connected
to another bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN
segment), or if it can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it
is served by a shared-medium LAN segment). This function allows
P2P status of the link to be manipulated administratively. Auto
means to auto select P2P or Share mode. P2P means P2P is
enabled, while Share means P2P is disabled.
Admin Edge A port directly connected to the end stations cannot create a
bridging loop in the network. To configure this port as an edge
port, set the port to the Enable state. When the non-bridge device
connects an admin edge port, this port will be in blocking state
and turn to forwarding state in 4 seconds.
Once you have finished your configuration, click the Apply button to save your
settings.
