LABEL DESCRIPTION
Slot (Stacking
mode)
This field appears only in stacking mode. Click the drop-down list to choose the slot
number of the Switch in a stack.
Port (Standalone
or stacking
mode)
This field displays the port number. In stacking mode, the first box field is the slot ID and
the second field is the port number.
* Settings in this row apply to all ports.
Use this row only if you want to make some settings the same for all ports. Use this row
first to set the common settings and then make adjustments on a port-by-port basis.
Note: Changes in this row are copied to all the ports as soon as you make them.
Edge Select this check box to configure a port as an edge port when it is directly attached to a
computer. An edge port changes its initial STP port state from blocking state to forwarding
state immediately without going through listening and learning states right after the port
is configured as an edge port or when its link status changes.
Note: An edge port becomes a non-edge port as soon as it receives a Bridge Protocol Data
Unit (BPDU).
