Using the Web Browser Interface for Basic Configuration Tasks
Bridging
The Spanning Tree Port Information “STP <instance number>” window
displays information about the interfaces on the local router, including
their role in the spanning tree, whether they are forwarding packets, and
the cost for their connection.
Figure 14-82. Viewing a Spanning Tree
Setting Global Spanning Tree Parameters
You set the spanning tree protocol version, router’s bridge priority, and
spanning tree timers in the Spanning Tree window.
1. Select Spanning Tree under Router/Bridge in the navigation bar.
2. RSTP is fully backwards compatible with STP. When an RSTP interface
detects an STP message, it automatically implements STP. You should
generally run RSTP, which reduces convergence time from about a minute
to less than a second.
However, if, for whatever reason you decide to use STP, select Legacy STP
(802.1d) from the Spanning Tree Mode pull-down menu.
