CONFIGURING INTERFACE SETTINGS FOR STA
Use the Spanning Tree > STA (Configure Interface - Configure) page to
configure RSTP and MSTP attributes for specific interfaces, including port
priority, path cost, link type, and edge port. You may use a different
priority or path cost for ports of the same media type to indicate the
preferred path, link type to indicate a point-to-point connection or shared-
media connection, and edge port to indicate if the attached device can
support fast forwarding. (References to “ports” in this section means
“interfaces,” which includes both ports and trunks.)

PARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed in the web interface:
◆ Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.
◆ Admin Edge Status for all ports – Since end nodes cannot cause
forwarding loops, they can pass directly through to the spanning tree
forwarding state. Specifying Edge Ports provides quicker convergence
for devices such as workstations or servers, retains the current
forwarding database to reduce the amount of frame flooding required
to rebuild address tables during reconfiguration events, does not cause
the spanning tree to initiate reconfiguration when the interface changes
state, and also overcomes other STA-related timeout problems.
