GS516TP Gigabit Smart Switches Field VID FID Description Table consisting of the VLAN IDs and the corresponding FID associated with each of them. Table consisting of the FIDs and the corresponding VLAN IDs associated with each of them. CST Port Configuration Use the CST Port Configuration screen to configure Common Spanning Tree (CST) and Internal Spanning Tree on a specific port on the switch.  To configure CST port settings: 1. Select Switching > STP > Advanced > CST Port Configuration. 2. To configure CST settings for an interface, click PORTS, LAGS, or All. 3. Select the check box next to the port or LAG to configure. You can select multiple ports and LAGs to apply the same settings to the selected interfaces. Select the check box in the heading row to apply the same settings to all interfaces. 4. Configure the CST values for the selected ports or LAGs: • 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 Auto, Enable, or Disable. The default is Auto, which specifies that the software waits for 3 seconds (with no BPDUs received on the interface) before putting the interface into the PortFast mode. • BPDU Forwarding. Specifies whether spanning tree BPDUs should be forwarded while spanning-tree is disabled on the switch. Select Enable or Disable. • 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. The valid range is 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 automatically set to the next lowest priority that is a multiple of 16. For example, if you set a value from 0 through 15, the priority is set to 0. If you specify a number from 16 through 31, the priority is set to 16. • 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. 5. Click APPLY to send the updated configuration to the switch. Configuration changes take place immediately. 73
