Configure The Cst Port Settings - NETGEAR GS418TPP User Manual

8-Port or 16-Port Gigabit Smart Managed Pro Switch Model GS418TPP, GS510TLP, and GS510TPP
Spanning Tree (CST). The valid range is 0–61440. 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 between 0 and 4095, the switch automatically sets the value to 0.
The default value is 32768.
• Bridge Max Age (secs). The bridge maximum age time for the Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the time in seconds a bridge must wait before
implementing a topological change. The valid range is 6–40, and 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 default value is 20.
• Bridge Hello Time (secs). The bridge hello time for the Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the time in seconds a root bridge must wait
between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2 seconds. The value must be
less than or equal to (Bridge Max Age / 2) – 1. The default hello time value is 2.
• Bridge Forward Delay (secs). The bridge forward delay time, which indicates the
time in seconds a bridge must remains in a listening and learning state before
forwarding packets. The value must be greater or equal to (Bridge Max Age / 2) + 1.
The time range is from 4 seconds to 30 seconds. The default value is 15 seconds.
• Spanning Tree Maximum Hops. The maximum number of bridge hops the
information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The valid
range is 6–40. The default is 20 hops.

Configure the CST port settings

You can configure a common spanning tree (CST) and internal spanning tree on a specific
port on the switch.
A port can become diagnostically disabled (D-Disable) when DOT1S experiences a severe
error condition. The most common cause is when the DOT1S software experiences BPDU
flooding. The flooding criteria are such that DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs in a
3-second interval. The other causes for DOT1S D-Disable are extremely rare.
