Rstp Port Configuration - Planet GSD-802S User Manual

4.7.2 RSTP Port Configuration

The RSTP Port Configuration page contains fields for assigning RSTP properties to individual ports. The screen in
4-7-3 appears.
The page includes the following fields:
Object
• Port
• Edge
• Path Cost
• Port Priority

Description
Indicate port 1 to port 8.
Indicates whether the port is enabled as an edge port.
Edge port cannot create loops, but it loses edge port status if a topology change
creates a potential for a loop. An edge port normally should not receive BPDU
packets. If a BPDU packet is received it automatically loses edge port status.
The port contribution to the root path cost. The path cost is adjusted to a higher or
lower value, and is used to forward traffic when a path being rerouted.
Value Rage : 1-20000000.
Default Path Cost -- The default path cost of the port is automatically set by the
port speed and the default path cost method. The default values for path costs
are:
- Ethernet – 2000000.
- Fast Ethernet - 200000.
- Gigabit Ethernet - 20000.
Controls the port priority. This can be used to control priority of ports having
identical port cost. (See above).
Default: 128
Range: 0-240, in steps of 16
