7. Configure the following global settings for the switch:
a. Spanning Tree State. Enable or disable the spanning tree operation on the switch.
By default, spanning tree operation is disabled.
b. STP Operation Mode.
Specify
the STP version for the switch.
The options are STP, RSTP, and MSTP. The default is RSTP
.
c. Configuration Name. Specify
a name to identify the STP, RSTP, or MSTP
configuration.
The name can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
d. Configuration Revision Level. Specify
an identifier to identify the STP, RSTP, or
MSTP configuration.
The values can be from 0 to 65535. The default value is 0.
e. Forward BPDU while STP Disabled. Enable
or disable the bridge protocol data unit
(BPDU) flood.
This setting specifies whether spanning tree BPDUs are forwarded while spanning
tree is disabled on the switch.
8. Click the Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.

Field Description
Global Settings
Configuration Digest Key The identifier used to identify the configuration currently being used.
STP Status
Bridge Identifier The bridge identifier for the CST. It is made up using the bridge priority and
the base MAC address of the bridge.
Time Since Topology Change The time in day-hour-minute-second format since the topology of the CST
last changed.
Topology Change Count The number of times that the topology changed for the CST.
Topology Change The value of the topology change setting for the switch that indicates if a
topology
change is in progress on any port assigned to the CST. The option
is True or False.
Designated Root The bridge identifier of the root bridge. It consists of the bridge priority and
the base MAC address of the bridge.
Root Path Cost The path cost to the designated root for the CST.
Root Port The port to access the designated root for the CST.
