also calculates parameters for setting up each switch to perform shortest path forwarding
within the stack.
SSID
Service Set Identifier is a name used to identify the particular 802.11 wireless LANs to which

Switch ID
Switch
IDs (1-16) are used to uniquely identify the switches within a stack. The Switch ID of
each switch is shown on the display on the front of the switch and is used widely in the web
pages as well as in the CLI commands.

Is an abbreviation for Synchronous Ethernet. This functionality is used to make a
network 'clock frequency' synchronized. Not to be confused with real time clock synchronized
(IEEE 1588).
