Description
100/19/4 This parameter is used by the STA algorithm to
determine the best path between devices.
Therefore, lower values should be assigned to
ports attached to faster media, and higher values
assigned to ports with slower media.
The default and recommended range is:
Standard Ethernet: 100 (50~600)
Fast Ethernet:
Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)
The full range is 1 - 65535.
Note: Path cost takes precedence over port priority.
Enabled
This enables/disables Fast Forwarding for the
selected port. In this mode, ports skip the Blocked,
Listening and Learning states and proceed straight
to Forwarding. Fast Forwarding enables end-node
workstations and servers to overcome time-out
problems when the Spanning Tree Algorithm is
implemented in a network. Therefore, Fast
Forwarding should only be enabled for ports that
are connected to an end-node device.
