NetAtlas Enterprise Ethernet Switch Manager User’s Guide 5.2 Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) STP detects and breaks network loops and provides backup links between switches, bridges or routers. It allows a switch to interact with other STP-compliant switches in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network. 5.2.1 STP Terminology The root bridge is the base of the spanning tree; it is the bridge with the lowest identifier value (MAC address).
NetAtlas Enterprise Ethernet Switch Manager User’s Guide Once a stable network topology has been established, all bridges listen for Hello BPDUs (Bridge Protocol Data Units) transmitted from the root bridge. If a bridge does not get a Hello BPDU after a predefined interval (Max Age), the bridge assumes that the link to the root bridge is down. This bridge then initiates negotiations with other bridges to reconfigure the network to re-establish a valid network topology. 5.2.
NetAtlas Enterprise Ethernet Switch Manager User’s Guide Table 19 View: STP Status LABEL DESCRIPTION STP This field displays Running if STP is activated; otherwise, it displays Down. Bridge Root refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge). Bridge ID This is the unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of bridge priority plus MAC address. Hello Time (second) This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a configuration message.

NetAtlas Enterprise Ethernet Switch Manager User’s Guide CHAPTER 13 System Configuration This chapter shows you how to view general system information, configure SNMP, remote management and time setup. 13.1 System Info See Section 3.9 on page 41 for information about the switch. 13.2 SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network switches. SNMP is a member of TCP/IP protocol suite.
NetAtlas Enterprise Ethernet Switch Manager User’s Guide The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a switch. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects.
NetAtlas Enterprise Ethernet Switch Manager User’s Guide Figure 70 System Configuration: SNMP Conf. The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 42 System Configuration: SNMP Conf. LABEL DESCRIPTION Get Community Enter the get community, which is the password for the incoming Get- and GetNext- requests from the management station.
