GS108T Smart Switch Software Administration Manual • Hello Time: indicates the amount of hello time of the current bridge. Hello time is the amount of time between the transmission of configuration bridge PDUS by this node on any port when it is the root of the spanning tree or trying to become so, in units of hundredths of a second. • Forward Delay: indicates the amount of forward delay of the current bridge. Forward delay is a time value, measured in units of hundredths of a second, which controls how fast a port changes its state. The value determines how long the port stays in each of the listening and learning states which precede the forward state. This value is also used to age all dynamic entries in the forwarding databases when a topology change has been detected and is underway. • RSTP Port Setting: RSTP port settings control and monitor port-based spanning tree status. • Path Cost: displays the cost of this port. Cost means the contribution of this port to the path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root which include this port. • Priority: displays the priority of this port. This is the value of the priority field contained in the first octet of the Port ID. • Edge: indicates if this port is the edge port. Once configured as an edge port, the port immediately transitions to the forwarding state. • P2P Force: indicates if this port is a point-to-point link. If you connect a port to another port though a point-to-point link and the local port becomes a designated port, it negotiates a rapid transition with the other port to ensure a loop-free topology. • State: displays the RSTP port status. 3.

v1.0, May 2007
Hello Time
:
indicates the amount of hello time of the current bridge. Hello time is the
amount of time between the transmission of configuration bridge PDUS by this node on
any port when it is the root of the spanning tree or trying to become so, in units of
hundredths of a second.
Forward Delay
:
indicates the amount of forward delay of the current bridge. Forward
delay is a time value, measured in units of hundredths of a second, which controls how fast
a port changes its state. The value determines how long the port stays in each of the
listening and learning states which precede the forward state. This value is also used to age
all dynamic entries in the forwarding databases when a topology change has been detected
and is underway.
RSTP Port Setting
:
RSTP port settings control and monitor port-based spanning tree
status.
Path Cost
: displays the cost of this port.
Cost
means the contribution of this port to the
path cost of paths towards the spanning tree root which include this port.
Priority
: displays the priority of this port. This is the value of the priority field contained
in the first octet of the Port ID.
Edge
:
indicates if this port is the edge port. Once configured as an edge port, the port
immediately transitions to the forwarding state.
P2P Force
:
indicates if this port is a point-to-point link. If you connect a port to another
port though
a point-to-point link and the local port becomes a designated port, it
negotiates a rapid transition
with the other port to ensure a loop-free topology.
State
: displays the RSTP port status.

SNMP
The SNMP page allows you to limit the IP address which can access the MIB of the switch and to
which the switch will send the trap.
The switch only responds to requests from computers with the IP address in the list.
You can also select the traps which the switch will send to the hosts in the following trap
events.
The setting of a host will not be active until it is set to
Enable
in the Admin field.
