Configuring Spanning Tree Status Priority Ext-Path Cost Int-Path Cost Edge Port P2P Link MCheck Port Mode STP/RSTP Configurations Enable or disable spanning tree function on the desired port. Enter the value of the port priority from 0 to 240, which is divisible by 16, and the default value is 128. The port with the lower value has the higher priority. In the same condition, the port with the highest priority will be elected as the root port. Enter the value of the external path cost. The default setting is Auto, which means the port calculates the external path cost automatically according to the port's link speed. External path cost is usually a parameter configured in MSTP, which indicates the path cost of the port in CST. In STP/RSTP, external path cost indicates the path cost of the port in the spanning tree. The port with the lowest external root path cost will be elected as the root port. Enter the value of the internal path cost. Note: Internal path cost is a parameter configured in MSTP. You need not configure it if the spanning tree mode is STP/RSTP. Enable or disable Edge Port. By default, it is disabled. The edge port can transit its state from blocking to forwarding directly. If the port is connected to an end device, like a PC, it is recommended to set the port as an edge port. Select the P2P (Point-to-Point) link status. If the two ports in the P2P link are a root port and a designated port, they can transit their states to forwarding directly. Three options are supported: Auto, Open(Force) and Close(Force). By default, it is Auto. Auto: The switch automatically checks if the port is connected to a P2P link, then determines the status is Open or Close. Open(Force): The port is manually identified as connected to a P2P link. Close(Force): The port is manually identified as not connected to a P2P link. Select whether to do MCheck operation on the port. Unchange means no MCheck operation. Note: MCheck is configured in MSTP. You need not configure it if the spanning tree mode is STP/RSTP. Displays the spanning tree mode of the port. STP: The spanning tree mode of the port is STP. RSTP: The spanning tree mode of the port is RSTP. MSTP: The spanning tree mode of the port is MSTP.

Configuring Spanning Tree

STP/RSTP Configurations

Status

Enable or disable spanning tree function on the desired port.

Priority

Enter the value of the port priority from 0 to 240, which is divisible by 16, and

the default value is 128.

The port with the lower value has the higher priority. In the same condition,

the port with the highest priority will be elected as the root port.

Ext-Path Cost

Enter the value of the external path cost. The default setting is Auto, which

means the port calculates the external path cost automatically according to

the port’s link speed.

External path cost is usually a parameter configured in MSTP, which indicates

the path cost of the port in CST.

In STP/RSTP, external path cost indicates the path cost of the port in the

spanning tree. The port with the lowest external root path cost will be elected

as the root port.

Int-Path Cost

Enter the value of the internal path cost.

Note: Internal path cost is a parameter configured in MSTP. You need not

configure it if the spanning tree mode is STP/RSTP.

Edge Port

Enable or disable Edge Port. By default, it is disabled.

The edge port can transit its state from blocking to forwarding directly. If the

port is connected to an end device, like a PC, it is recommended to set the

port as an edge port.

P2P Link

Select the P2P (Point-to-Point) link status. If the two ports in the P2P link are

a root port and a designated port, they can transit their states to forwarding

directly.

Three options are supported: Auto, Open(Force) and Close(Force). By

default, it is Auto.

Auto

: The switch automatically checks if the port is connected to a P2P link,

then determines the status is Open or Close.

Open(Force)

: The port is manually identified as connected to a P2P link.

Close(Force)

: The port is manually identified as not connected to a P2P link.

MCheck

Select whether to do MCheck operation on the port. Unchange means no

MCheck operation.

Note: MCheck is configured in MSTP. You need not configure it if the

spanning tree mode is STP/RSTP.

Port Mode

Displays the spanning tree mode of the port.

STP

: The spanning tree mode of the port is STP.

RSTP

: The spanning tree mode of the port is RSTP.

MSTP

: The spanning tree mode of the port is MSTP.
