Table 59: Advanced Switch Settings
Field Description
Bridge Priority Indicates the priority of the switch in a Spanning Tree network
configuration to determine the Root Bridge Switch. All switches
are assigned a Bridge Priority. The Bridge Priority plus the Mac
Address determine the Switch ID. The lower the numerical
value of the Switch ID, the more likely the switch is the Root
Bridge (switch).
All switches in your network can be assigned the same default
Bridge Priority. If this is the case, the switch Mac Address
decides which switch is the Root Bridge Switch.
IGMP Snooping Enable snooping of Internet Group Management Protocol
(IGMP) network trac to provide a method for intelligently
forwarding multicast packets within a Layer 2 broadcast
domain. By snooping the IGMP registration information, the
device forms a distribution list that determines which end
stations receive packets with a specific multicast address. Layer
2 switches listen for IGMP messages and build mapping tables
and associated forwarding filters. IGMP snooping also reduces
IGMP protocol trac. Default: Disabled
MSTP Configuration Enable or disable MSTP configuration for the site from the Site
Switch tab. Port MSTP configuration is set based on port
function (AP, Host, Inter-switch and Other).
VLAN Configuration VLAN configuration is based on Switch port function:
• AP — All the tagged and untagged VLANS are configured
for the AP's device group.
• Host — Administrator configurable. The Administrator can
configure any of the VLANs that are configured in the
system.
• Other — Default setting. Typically configures port to VLAN 1,
but this is configurable for all VLAN(s) that are configured
on Extreme Campus Controller.
• Interswitch — All tagged and untagged VLANS are
configured for all AP device groups that are serviced by the
switch, along with all of the VLANS used by the host and
other port types.
