RSTP Port Configuration:
Protocol Enabled:
Enables or disables the RSTP feature.
By default, this function is disabled for every port.
Edge:
The edge port feature has faster status transition,
and it is 2 times faster than the forwarding delay when it
directly changes from blocking to forwarding status. If a
port is directly connected with the terminal, you can set
this port as an edge port.
Path Cost:
Every port has a path cost value. The cost is
typically based on a guideline established as part of
802.1d. According to the original specification, cost is
1,000 Mbps (1 gigabit per second) divided by the
bandwidth of the segment connected to the port.
Therefore, a 10 Mbps connection would have a cost of
(1,000/10) 100. The path cost can be an arbitrary
value assigned by the administrator, instead of one of the
standard cost values. If set to auto, it will automatically
determine the port path cost depending on the port rate.
