GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switches CST Configuration To configure Common Spanning Tree (CST) and Internal Spanning Tree on the switch, use the CST Configuration screen.  To configure CST settings: 1. Select Switching > STP > Advanced > CST Configuration. 2. Specify values for CST in the appropriate fields: • Bridge Priority. Specify the bridge priority value for the Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CST). When switches or bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the switch with the lowest priority value becomes the root bridge. The bridge priority is a multiple of 4096. If you specify a priority that is not a multiple of 4096, the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority that is a multiple of 4096. For example, if you set the priority to any value from 0 through 4095, it is set to 0. The valid range is 0-61440. The default priority is 32768. • Bridge Max Age (Sec). Specify the bridge maximum age time for the Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the amount of time in seconds a bridge waits before implementing a topological change. The value must be less than or equal to (2 * bridge forward delay) - 1 and greater than or equal to 2 * (bridge hello time +1). The valid range is 6-40, and the default value is 20. • Bridge Hello Time (Sec). Specifies the switch hello time for the Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the amount of time in seconds a root bridge waits between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2 seconds. • Bridge Forward Delay (Sec). Specify the switch forward delay time, which indicates the amount of time in seconds a bridge remains in a listening and learning state before forwarding packets. The value must be greater or equal to (bridge max age / 2) + 1. The valid range is 4-30 seconds. The default value is 15. • Spanning Tree Maximum Hops. Specify the maximum number of bridge hops the information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The valid range is 1-40. 3. Click APPLY to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take place immediately. The following table describes the MSTP Status information displayed on the CST Configuration screen: Table 15. MSTP Status Information. Field MST ID Description Table consisting of the MST instances (including the CST) and the corresponding VLAN IDs associated with each of them. 72

CST Configuration

To configure Common Spanning Tree (CST) and Internal Spanning Tree on the switch, use

the CST Configuration screen.



To configure CST settings:

Select

Switching > STP > Advanced > CST Configuration

Specify values for CST in the appropriate fields:

•

Bridge Priority

. Specify the bridge priority value for the Common and Internal

Spanning Tree (CST). When switches or bridges are running STP, each is assigned a

priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the switch with the lowest priority value becomes

the root bridge. The bridge priority is a multiple of 4096. If you specify a priority that is

not a multiple of 4096, the priority is automatically set to the next lowest priority that is

a multiple of 4096. For example, if you set the priority to any value from 0 through

4095, it is set to 0. The valid range is 0–61440. The default priority is 32768.

•

Bridge Max Age (Sec)

. Specify the bridge maximum age time for the Common and

Internal Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the amount of time in seconds a bridge

waits before implementing a topological change. The value must be less than or equal

to (2 * bridge forward delay) – 1 and greater than or equal to 2 * (bridge hello time +1).

The valid range is 6–40, and the default value is 20.

•

Bridge Hello Time (Sec)

. Specifies the switch hello time for the Common and

Internal Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the amount of time in seconds a root

bridge waits between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2 seconds.

•

Bridge Forward Delay (Sec).

Specify the switch forward delay time, which indicates

the amount of time in seconds a bridge remains in a listening and learning state

before forwarding packets. The value must be greater or equal to (bridge max age / 2)

+ 1. The valid range is 4–30 seconds. The default value is 15.

•

Spanning Tree Maximum Hops.

Specify the maximum number of bridge hops the

information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The valid

range is 1–40.

Click
