DXS-3400 Series Lite Layer 3 Stackable 10GbE Managed Switch Web UI Reference Guide To view the following window, click L2 Features>STP> STP Port Settings, as shown below: Figure 5-54STP Port Settings Window The fields that can be configured are described below: Parameter Unit From Port ~ To Port Cost State Guard Root Link Type Port Fast Description Select the Switch unit that will be used for this configuration here. Select the range of ports that will be used for this configuration here. Enter the cost value here. This value must be between 1 and 200000000. This value defines a metric that indicates the relative cost of forwarding packets to the specified port list. Port cost can be set automatically or as a metric value. The default value is 0 (auto). Setting 0 for the external cost will automatically set the speed for forwarding packets to the specified port(s) in the list for optimal efficiency. The default port cost for a 100Mbps port is 200000, a Gigabit port is 20000, and a 10 Gigabit port is 2000. The lower the number, the greater the probability the port will be chosen to forward packets. Select to enable or disable the STP port state. Select to enable or disable the guard root function. Select the link type option here. Options to choose from are Auto, P2P, and Shared. A full-duplex port is considered to have a point-to-point (P2P) connection.On the opposite, a half-duplex port is considered to have a Shared connection .The port cannot transit into the forwarding state rapidly by setting the link type to Shared. By default this option is Auto. Select the port fast option here. Options to choose from are Network, Disabled, and Edge. • In the Network mode the port will remain in the non-port-fast state for three seconds. The port will change to the port-fast state if no BPDU is received and changes to the forwarding state. If the port received the BPDU later, it will change to the non-port-fast state. • In the Disable mode, the port will always be in the non-port-fast state. It will always wait for the forward-time delay to change to the forwarding state. • In the Edge mode, the port will directly change to the spanning-tree forwarding state when a link-up occurs without waiting for the forward-time delay. If the interface receives a BPDU later, its operation state changes to the non-port-fast state. By default, this option is Network. 143

To view the following window, click
L2 Features>STP> STP Port Settings
, as shown below:
Figure 5-54STP Port Settings Window
The fields that can be configured are described below:
Parameter
Description
Unit
Select the Switch unit that will be used for this configuration here.
From Port ~ To Port
Select the range of ports that will be used for this configuration here.
Cost
Enter the cost value here. This value must be between 1 and 200000000. This
value defines a metric that indicates the relative cost of forwarding packets to the
specified port list. Port cost can be set automatically or as a metric value. The
default value is
0
(auto). Setting 0 for the external cost will automatically set the
speed for forwarding packets to the specified port(s) in the list for optimal
efficiency. The default port cost for a 100Mbps port is 200000, a Gigabit port is
20000, and a 10 Gigabit port is 2000. The lower the number, the greater the
probability the port will be chosen to forward packets.
State
Select to enable or disable the STP port state.
Guard Root
Select to enable or disable the guard root function.
Link Type
Select the link type option here. Options to choose from are
Auto
,
P2P
, and
Shared
. A full-duplex port is considered to have a point-to-point (
P2P
)
connection.On the opposite, a half-duplex port is considered to have a
Shared
connection .The port cannot transit into the forwarding state rapidly by setting the
link type to
Shared
. By default this option is
Auto
.
Port Fast
Select the port fast option here. Options to choose from are
Network
,
Disabled
,
and
Edge
.
In the
Network
mode the port will remain in the non-port-fast state for three
seconds. The port will change to the port-fast state if no BPDU is received
and changes to the forwarding state. If the port received the BPDU later, it
will change to the non-port-fast state.
In the
Disable
mode, the port will always be in the non-port-fast state. It will
always wait for the forward-time delay to change to the forwarding state.
In the
Edge
mode, the port will directly change to the spanning-tree
forwarding state when a link-up occurs without waiting for the forward-time
delay. If the interface receives a BPDU later, its operation state changes to
the non-port-fast state.
By default, this option is
Network
.
