Figure 37 – Configuration > Spanning Tree
By default, Spanning Tree is Disabled. If Enabled, the Switch will
listen for BPDU packets and its accompanying Hello packet. BPDU
packets are sent even if a BPDU packet was not received. Therefore,
each link between bridges is sensitive to the status of the link.
Ultimately this difference results in faster detection of failed links, and
thus faster topology adjustment. A draw-back of 802.1D is this
absence of immediate feedback from adjacent bridges.
After Enabling STP, setting the STP Global Setting includes the
following options:
Bridge Priority: This value between 0 and 65535 specifies the
priority for forwarding packets: the lower the value, the higher the
priority. The default is 32768.
