www.dell.com | support.dell.com Learning - The port is currently in the learning mode. The port cannot forward traffic however it can learn new MAC addresses. Forwarding - The port is currently in the forwarding mode. The port can forward traffic and learn new MAC addresses. Speed - Speed at which the port is operating. Path Cost (1-200000000) - The port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path being rerouted. Default Path Cost - The default path cost of the port is automatically set by the port speed and the default path cost method. The default values for long path costs are: Ethernet - 2000000 Fast Ethernet - 200000 Gigabit Ethernet - 20000 The default values for short path costs (short path costs are the default) are: Ethernet - 100 Fast Ethernet - 19 Gigabit Ethernet - 4 Priority (0-240, in steps of 16) - The priority value of the port. The priority value influences the port choice when a bridge has two ports connected in a loop. The priority value is between 0-240. The priority value is provided in increments of 16. Designated Bridge ID - The bridge priority and the MAC Address of the designated bridge. Designated Port ID - The selected port's priority and interface. Designated Cost - The cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a lower cost are less likely to be blocked if STP detects loops. Forward Transitions - The number of times the port has changed from the Blocking state to the Forwarding state. LAG - The LAG to which the port is attached. Enabling STP on a Port 1 Open the STP Port Settings page. 2 Select Enabled in the STP Port Status field. 3 Define the Fast Link, Path Cost, and the Priority fields. 4 Click Apply Changes. STP is enabled on the port. 52

Learning
— The port is currently in the learning mode. The port cannot forward traffic however it can
learn new MAC addresses.
Forwarding
— The port is currently in the forwarding mode. The port can forward traffic and learn new
MAC addresses.
Speed
— Speed at which the port is operating.
Path Cost (1-200000000)
— The port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or
lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path being rerouted.
Default Path Cost
— The default path cost of the port is automatically set by the port speed and the default
path cost method.
The default values for long path costs are:
Ethernet
- 2000000
Fast Ethernet
- 200000
Gigabit Ethernet
- 20000
The default values for short path costs (short path costs are the default) are:
Ethernet
- 100
Fast Ethernet
- 19
Gigabit Ethernet
- 4
Priority (0-240, in steps of 16)
— The priority value of the port. The priority value influences the port choice
when a bridge has two ports connected in a loop. The priority value is between 0-240. The priority value is
provided in increments of 16.
Designated Bridge ID
— The bridge priority and the MAC Address of the designated bridge.
Designated Port ID
— The selected port’s priority and interface.
Designated Cost
— The cost of the port participating in the STP topology. Ports with a lower cost are less likely
to be blocked if STP detects loops.
Forward Transitions
— The number of times the port has changed from the
Blocking
state to the
Forwarding
state.
LAG
— The LAG to which the port is attached.
