There should only be one path between any two stations on the network. -
Page 55: Introduction To Spanning Tree Protocol Parameters
Introduction to Spanning Tree Protocol Parameters The Spanning Tree Protocol works on two levels: the bridge (i.e., switch) and port levels. At the bridge level, the STP algorithm calculates a bridge identifier for each bridge and then determines the root bridge and the designated bridges. - Page 56 100, while a 100 Mbps port has a path cost of 10. In the following figure, three DES-2218 switches are used to bridge three LANs together. Switch 3 is selected as the root bridge because it has the lowest bridge ID.
-
Page 57: Setting Spanning Tree Protocol Parameters
2. Choose Protocol Parameters from the Spanning Tree Algorithm Parameters menu. 3. The Protocol Parameters menu displays the current status of the Spanning Tree Algorithm’s operation on the DES-2218, and allows you to change several of the bridge parameters. All of these settings are described below. - Page 58 Root Cost Displays the cost for the path between this switch and the root bridge. If the DES-2218 is the root bridge, then this field displays zero. Root Port Identifies the port (on this bridge) that offers the least path cost from this bridge to the root bridge.
- Page 59 DES-2218 still has not received a BPDU from the root bridge, it will start sending its own BPDU to all other bridges for permission to become the root bridge. If it turns out that the DES-2218 has the lowest bridge identifier, it will then become the root bridge. Bridge Max Age ranges from 6 to 40 seconds, with 20 seconds as the default value.
- Page 60 In STP, only root and designated ports are used. Designated Root Indicates the MAC (Ethernet) address of the switch/bridge that is the STP designated root for the network. Designated Cost Displays the path cost from this port to the designated root.
