Configure Spanning Tree for Ports
Description
Port: Select the port you want to configure for spanning tree.
STP State: Use the z to enable or disable each port to be active in
the spanning tree.
Cost: Type in a number from 1 to 65535 (default is 10). This value is used
by the Spanning Tree Protocol to determine alternate routes in the network.
The higher the cost of a port, the lower the chance it will be used to forward
traffic. When possible, assign a port a low cost if it is connected to a fast
network segment.
Priority: Type in a number from 0 to 255 (default is 128) to set the port’s
priority in the spanning tree. The higher the value, the lower the chance oit
will be used as the root port. If two ports on the switch have the same
priority value, the spanning tree uses the port with the lowest number. For
example, the spanning tree would choose port 1 over port 4 if they both had
the same priority setting.
