Page 50: Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol
MS Series User Guide Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides a tree topology for any arrangement of bridges. STP also provides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. Spanning tree versions supported include Common STP, Multiple STP, and Rapid STP. Classic STP provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops. -
Page 51: Cst Configuration
MS Series User Guide Field Description Spanning Tree Admin The administrative mode of STP on the device. When enabled, the Mode device participates in the root bridge election process and exchanges Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) with other switches in the spanning tree to determine the root path costs and maintain topology information. - Page 52 MS Series User Guide The Spanning Tree CST screen opens. Field Description Bridge Priority The value that helps determine which bridge in the spanning tree is elected as the root bridge during STP convergence. A lower value increases the probability that the bridge becomes the root bridge.

Select one interface to edit and view detailed information, or select multiple interfaces to edit. Field Description Port Priority The priority for the port within the CST. This value is used to determine which port on a switch becomes the root port when two ports have the same least-cost path to the root.
- Page 55 MS Series User Guide Field Description Auto-calculate Port Shows whether the path cost from the port to the root bridge is Path Cost automatically determined by the speed of the interface (Enabled) or configured manually (Disabled). Hello Timer The amount of time the port waits between sending hello BPDUs.
