GS728TS, GS728TPS, GS752TS, and GS752TPS Gigabit Smart Switches To configure CST port settings: 1. To configure CST settings for a physical port, click the unit ID of the stack member with the ports to configure. 2. To configure CST settings for a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), click LAGS. 3. To configure CST settings for both physical ports and LAGs, click ALL. 4. Select the check box next to the port or LAG to configure. You can select multiple ports and LAGs to apply the same setting to the selected interfaces. Select the check box in the heading row to apply the same settings to all interfaces. 5. Configure the CST values for the selected port(s) or LAG(s): • STP Status. Enable or disable the Spanning Tree Protocol Administrative Mode associated with the port or port channel. • Fast Link. Specifies if the specified port is an Edge Port with the CST. Possible values are Enable or Disable. The default is Disable. • BPDU Forwarding. When enabled, BPDU forwarding forward the BPDU traffic arriving on this port when STP is disabled on the port. • Port State. The Forwarding state of this port. This field is read-only. • Path Cost. Set the Path Cost to a new value for the specified port in the common and internal spanning tree. It takes a value in the range of 1-200000000. • Priority. The priority for a particular port within the CST. The port priority is set in multiples of 16. If you specify a value that is not a multiple of 16, the priority is set to the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority that is a multiple of 16. For example, if you set a value between 0 and 15, the priority is set to 0. If you specify a number between 16 and 31, the priority is set to 16. • External Port Path Cost. Set the External Path Cost to a new value for the specified port in the spanning tree. It takes a value in the range of 1-200000000. • Port ID. The port identifier for the specified port within the CST. It is made up from the port priority and the interface number of the port. • Hello Timer. Specifies the switch Hello time, which indicates the amount of time in seconds a port waits between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2 seconds. 6. Click Cancel to cancel the configuration on the screen and reset the data on the screen to the latest value of the switch. 7. If you make any configuration changes, click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take place immediately. 8.

To configure CST settings for a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), click
LAGS
.
3.
To configure CST settings for both physical ports and LAGs, click
ALL
.
4.
Select the check box next to the port or LAG to configure. You can select multiple ports and

arriving on this port when STP is disabled on the port.
Port State
. The Forwarding state of this port. This field is read-only.
Path Cost
. Set the Path Cost to a new value for the specified port in the common and

Port ID
. The port identifier for the specified port within the CST. It is made up from the
port priority and the interface number of the port.
Hello Timer
. Specifies the switch Hello time, which indicates the amount of time in
seconds a port waits between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2
seconds.
