Description
The cost of the path to the other bridge from this transmitting bridge
at the specified port. Enter a number 1 through 200,000,000.
Decide which port should be blocked by setting its priority as the
lowest. Enter a number between 0 and 240. The value of priority must
be the multiple of 16.
The rapid state transitions possible within RSTP are dependent upon
whether the port concerned can only be connected to exactly
another bridge (i.e. it is served by a point-to-point LAN segment), or
can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is served by a shared
medium LAN segment). This function allows the P2P status of the link
to be manipulated administratively. True means the port is regarded
as a point-to-point link. False means the port is regarded as a shared
link. Auto means the link type is determined by the auto-negotiation
between the two peers.
The port directly connected to end stations won't create bridging loop
in the network. To configure the port as an edge port, set the port to
"True" status.
The port includes the STP mathematic calculation. True is not
including STP mathematic calculation. False is including the STP
mathematic calculation.
