4. Choose SAVE and press Enter to let any changes take effect.
The status variables shown are:
Time Since Topology Change The last time that changes were made
to the network topology, such as might occur when a backup path is
activated due to a primary path failure.
Topology Change Count
topology has changed since the DES-2218 was turned on.
Designated Root The MAC (Ethernet) address of the bridge/switch
on the network that has been chosen as the STA root.
Root Cost Displays the cost for the path between this switch and the
root bridge.
If the DES-2218 is the root bridge, then this field
displays zero.
Root Port Identifies the port (on this bridge) that offers the least path
cost from this bridge to the root bridge. In the event of a network
loop, data packets will pass through the root port.
Max Age (sec)
information learned from the network (on any port) before it is
discarded.
