If more information is required, please refer to networking textbooks, online resources (i.e. www.oreillynet.com) or your MIS manager. 6.1 Spanning Tree Protocol The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is part of the IEEE 802.1D standard.

  • Page 38: Spanning Tree Port Configuration

    Forward Delay After a recalculation of the spanning tree, the Forward Delay parameter regulates the delay before each port begins transmitting traffic. If a port begins forwarding traffic too soon (before a new root bridge has been selected), the network can be adversely affected. The default value for Forward Delay is 15 seconds. Note: The above parameters (Hello Time, Maximum Age and Forward Delay) are constrained by the following formula: (Hello Time + 1) <= Maximum Age <= 2 x (Forward Delay –...

  • Page 39: Flow Control

    6.2.2 Flow Control With a link operating at a high data rate, a switch may experience occasional limitations in the buffer space used to store Ethernet frames before forwarding them. In this situation, if the sending station continues to send frames, the switch will have no option but to discard the frames. This may quickly lead to unacceptable delays in upper-level protocols.

  • Page 40: Appendix A: Troubleshooting

    Appendix A: Troubleshooting In the unlikely event your network does not operate properly, follow the troubleshooting tips below: CHECK YOUR POWER CONNECTION. Is the Power LED on? If not plug the power cord into another known working AC outlet. CHECK YOUR NETWORK CABLE. Are the LINK LEDs on? If not, check the cable connections. Are the connectors seated correctly in each port? Make sure that the correct type of cable is connected to each port.
