Description
This parameter Starts or Shutsdown MSTP in the switch.
This parameter specifies the protocol that can be enabled/disabled at a
global level on the switch using this field.
This parameter allows you to choose to run the protocol in MSTP, RSTP or
an STP compatible version.
This parameter specifies the Priority value assigned to the bridge that is
used to select the root bridge.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of packets that can be sent
in a given interval. This is configured to avoid flooding.
This parameter allows you to configure the path cost either as a 16-bit
value or a 32-bit value. This is provided mainly for backward compatibility
with STAP.
This parameter specifies the time period for which the information received
in the RSTP BDPU is valid.
This parameter specifies how fast a port changes its Spanning state when
moving towards the Forwarding state.
This parameter specifies the maximum number of bridges that a packet
can cross before it will be dropped, to avoid infinite looping of the packets.
This parameter specifies the name for the Region's configuration. By
default, the region name will be equal to the Bridge MAC Address.
This parameter specifies the version number of the configuration to be
used.
