STP Port Configuration

This page allows you to configure the port parameter after you have enabled STP, RSTP, or MSTP.
STP Port Configuration Page
You can enable/disable STP/RSTP/MSTP on a port by port basis.
STP State
You can disable the STP state when connecting a device in order to avoid STP waiting
periods.
The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge at the specified

port. Enter a number from 1 through 200000000.
Decide which port should be blocked by priority on your LAN. Enter a number from 0
Priority
through 240 in increments of 16.
Some of the rapid state transactions that are possible within RSTP are dependent
upon whether the port in question is connected to exactly one other bridge (that is, it
Link Type is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or if it is connected to two or more
bridges (that is., it is served by a shared medium LAN segment). This configuration
allows the p2p status of the link to be controlled by an administrator.
Present in implementations that support the identification of edge ports. All ports
directly connected to end stations cannot create bridging loops in the network and
can thus directly transition to forwarding, and skipping the listening and learning
stages.
Edge Port
When a non-bridge device connects an edge port, this port is in a blocking state and
turn to forwarding state in 2*Hello Time seconds. When the bridge device connects
an edge port, this port is a non-edge port automatic.
