Stp Custom Settings - D-Link DES-3624 Series User Manual

♦ Bridge Priority (0–65535) A Bridge Priority is a read-write object that can be set from 0 to 65535.
This is the priority number of the bridge. The value is used in conjunction with the bridge MAC
address to set the bridge ID, which in turn is used when determining the root bridge of a
multibridged network. The root bridge is responsible for processing data packets when network loops
occur. The smaller the number set, the higher the bridge priority is. The higher the bridge priority,
the more chance the bridge has of becoming the root bridge. Zero is the highest priority.

♦ Priority Port Priority is a read-write object that can be set from 0 to 255. This is the priority
number of the port. The higher the port priority, the more chance the bridge has of becoming the root
port. Zero is the highest priority.

will be read-only and the values will be the same as those for the anchor port.
