Spanning Tree Port Table
The Spanning Tree Port Table shows the status of spanning on all ports on the Switch. You can modify certain
parameters and enable or disable spanning tree on selected ports.
Enter a value from 0-255 in the Port Priority field. This influences the choice of port when a bridge has
two ports connected in a loop. A lower numerical value gives that port a higher priority.
1.
Click enable in the column next to any port that is used in the spanning tree. Use Enable for ports whose
links connect to other parts of the bridged local area network where multiple, redundant paths back to the
root bridge might exist.
Use Disable only for end stations connected directly to the Switch. When the end
station is turned on or restarted, connections to various network services are not delayed by the Spanning
Tree Protocol.
2.
Port State is a read-only field showing the operating state of the port when only one port was selected.
The five possible states are Blocking, Listening, Learning, Forwarding, and Disabled. Disable appears
in this field if you selected a group of ports.
3.
Enter a value from 1-65535 in the Port Path Cost field. This cost value is added to the root path cost field
in a configuration BPDU received on this port to determine the cost of the path to the root through this
port.
