Parameter Definition
Enable Indicates whether or not spanning tree is active on this
bridge port.
Priority Sets the port's priority in the spanning tree algorithm. A
port with a higher priority (lower priority number) is
more likely to be chosen as the primary path in the
spanning tree. The Default setting is 8. The parameter
range is from 0-15
Path Cost Sets the spanning tree path cost for this port. The ports
that you prefer be used by the spanning tree should
have the lowest path cost. The Default setting is based
on port link speed. The parameter range is 1-65535
Top. Change Allows you to enable or disable topology change
Detection detection. Specifies whether a Topology Change
Notification (TCN) packet is sent through the root port
(or if this switch is the root bridge, whether or not Fast
Aging occurs) whenever the port enters the forwarding
or blocking states. This attribute should be enabled on
ports which connect to other switches. The default
value is enabled.
