Priority:
Priority here means Port Priority. Port Priority and Port Number are
mixed to form the Port ID. Port IDs are often compared in order to
determine which port of a bridge would become the Root Port. The range
is 0 – 240. Default is 128.
Admin Edge Port:
If user selects “Yes”, this port will be an edge port. An Edge Port is a port
connected to a device that knows nothing about STP or RSTP. Usually,
the connected device is an end station. Edge Ports will immediately
transit to forwarding state. User can select “Yes” or “No”.
Default: No
Admin Point To Point:
We say a port is on a point-to-point link if the port is in full-duplex mode.
RSTP fast convergence can only happen on a point-to-point link. To
determine if this port is on a point-to-point link is by auto-detecting the
port’s duplex mode if the parameter is set to “Auto”. If the parameter is
set “True”, the port is unconditionally considered to be on a point-to-point
link. If the parameter is set to “False”, fast transition to Forwarding state
will not happen on this port. User can select “Auto”, “True” or “False”.
Default : Auto
M Check:
Migration Check. It forces the port sending out an RSTP BPDU instead
of a legacy STP BPDU at the next transmission. The only benefit of this
operation is to make the port quickly get back to act as an RSTP port.
Move the cursor to <M Check> and press <Enter> key to send a RSTP
BPDU from the port you specified.
