Gigabit Ethernet Switch User's Guide
Switch STP
The Switch supports 801.2d Spanning Tree Protocol, which
allows you to create alternative paths (with multiple switches
or other types of bridges) in your network. See the Spanning
Tree Algorithm section of the "Switch Management" chapter
for a detailed explanation.
To configure Spanning Tree Protocol functions for the Switch
or individual ports, enter the desired information in the fields
on this screen (see the descriptions below for assistance) and
then click Apply.
The information on the screen is described as follows:
♦ Spanning Tree Protocol Select Enabled to implement
the Spanning Tree Protocol.
♦ Time Since Topology Changes(sec) Read-only object
displays the last time changes were made to the network
topology. These changes usually occur when backup paths
are activated due to primary path failures.
