  • Page 100 Root Bridge the best switch on the network to ensure the best network performance and reliability. Root Bridge Specifies the MAC address of the Root Bridge. The DES-5600 may or may not be the root bridge. The DES-5600 is the default root bridge. Root Port Specifies the preferred path to the Root Bridge.
  • Page 101 Forward Delay Time Port Priority Follow these steps to configure the Spanning Tree Switch Configuration: Use the down arrow to Enable or Disable Spanning Tree. Set the Bridge Priority between 0 and 65535. Set the Hello Time between 1 and 10 seconds.

    Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide SNMP Management Configuration Shown in Figure 56, these panels are used to configure the DES-5600 for SNMP management. Leave the default values in place if you are not managing your network through SNMP. The DES-5600 uses the standard MIB-II Management Information Base module.
  • Page 105 Read Only access rights mean that members of the community can view the information on the DES-5600 but they can not make changes to the configurations. Read/ Write access rights enable the members of the community to make any changes they desire.
  • Page 106 Fast Ethernet Switching System User’s Guide Can be Enable or Delete. Only communities with Enable status can access the DES-5600. Communities with Delete status cannot access the DES-5600. Follow these steps to SNMP Manager Configuration: Enter the SNMP Community String and use the down arrow to set the read and write options.

    A cold start is different from a factory reset. Authentication Failure Signifies that an addressee (or manager/ user) on the DES-5600 is not a valid user of the DES-5600 and may have entered an incorrect community name. Link Change Event Signifies that the link of a port has changed from link up to link down or vice versa.
