• LeaveAllTime - This parameter is the GARP Leave All Timer. Its range is 10 -
10000000 milli-seconds. This timer must be set in relation to the GVRP Leave
Timer according to the following equation:
GARPLeaveAllTimer > (GARPLeaveTimer + 10)
4. At the bottom of the right hand panel, click Apply.
Note: This step saves all configuration changes to the NV-RAM to ensure that if the
switch is rebooted or power cycled, the configuration changes will still be applied
Spanning Tree
Protocol
Network > Spanning Tree > Global Settings > STP
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides network topology for any arrangement of
bridges/switches. STP also provides a single path between end stations on a network,
eliminating loops. Loops occur when alternate routes exist between hosts. Loops in an
extended network can cause bridges to forward traffic indefinitely, resulting in
increased traffic and reducing network efficiency.
1. Log into your switch management page (see “Access your switch management page”
on page 5).
2. Click on Network, click on Spanning Tree, click on Global Settings, and click on STP.
3. Review the settings. Click Apply to save changes.
• STP State: Select Enabled to Enable Spanning Tree Protocol, or Disabled to
disable STP.
• Force Version: Select MSTP or RSTP from the drop-down menu
• Configuration Name: Name the current STP
• Configuration Revision: Assign a revision number
• Priority: The Priority has a range 0 to 61440 in increments of 4096. To make
this easier for you, the Web Management Utility divides the range into
increments. You specify the increment that represents the desired bridge
priority value.
• Forward Delay: The Forward Delay defines the time that the bridge spends in
the listening and learning states. Its range is 4 - 30 seconds.
• Maximum Age: The Maximum Age defines the amount of time a port will wait
for STP/RSTP information. MSTP uses this parameter when interacting with
STP/RSTP domains on the boundary ports. Its range is 6 - 40 seconds
• TX Hold Count: The Transmit Hold Count specifies the maximum number of
BPDUs that the bridge can send per second. Its range is 1 - 10.
• Hello Time: The Hello Time is frequency with which the root bridge sends out a
BPDU.
