ETTINGS FOR
Use the Spanning Tree > STA > Port Configuration page to configure STA
attributes for specific interfaces, including port priority, path cost, link type,
and edge port. You may use a different priority or path cost for ports of the
same media type to indicate the preferred path, link type to indicate a
point-to-point connection or shared-media connection, and edge port to
indicate if the attached device can support fast forwarding. (References to
"ports" in this section means "interfaces," which includes both ports and
trunks.)

ARAMETERS
These parameters are displayed:
Interface – Displays a list of ports or trunks.
Spanning Tree – Enables/disables STA on this interface.
(Default: Enabled)
BPDU Flooding - Enables/disables the flooding of BPDUs to other
ports when global spanning tree is disabled
spanning tree is disabled on specific port. When flooding is enabled,
BPDUs are flooded to all other ports on the switch or to all other ports
within the receiving port's native VLAN as specified by the Spanning
Tree BPDU Flooding attribute
STA State – Displays current state of this port within the Spanning
Tree. (See "Displaying Interface Settings for STA"
information.)
Discarding - Port receives STA configuration messages, but does
not forward packets.
Learning - Port has transmitted configuration messages for an
interval set by the Forward Delay parameter without receiving
contradictory information. Port address table is cleared, and the
port begins learning addresses.
Forwarding - Port forwards packets, and continues learning
addresses.
Priority – Defines the priority used for this port in the Spanning Tree
Protocol. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port
with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value) will be configured as an
active link in the Spanning Tree. This makes a port with higher priority
less likely to be blocked if the Spanning Tree Protocol is detecting
network loops. Where more than one port is assigned the highest
priority, the port with lowest numeric identifier will be enabled.
Default: 128
Range: 0-240, in steps of 16
