Active
Select this check box to activate RSTP on this port.
Priority
Configure the priority for each port here.
Priority decides which port should be disabled when more than one port
forms a loop in a switch. Ports with a higher priority numeric value are
disabled first. The allowed range is between 0 and 255 and the default
value is 128.
Path Cost
Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that
port. It is recommended to assign this value according to the speed of
the bridge. The slower the media, the higher the cost - see
for more information.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The
Switch loses these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the
Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel
Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.
