Spanning Tree Protocol
NOTE
You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience with STP. The
default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
The following parameters can be configured on each STPD:

●
Forward delay
●
Max age
●
Bridge priority
●
StpdID
●
The following parameters can be configured on each port:
Path cost
●
Port priority
●
Port mode
●
NOTE
The device supports the RFC 1493 Bridge MIB, RSTP-03, and Extreme Networks STP MIB. Parameters of the s0
default STPD support RFC 1493 and RSTP-03. Parameters of any other STPD support the Extreme Networks STP
MIB.
NOTE
If an STPD contains at least one port not in 802.1D (dot1D) mode, the STPD must be configured with an StpdID.
