Configuring a Bridge’s STP Settings
This section contains the procedure for configuring a bridge’s STP
settings.
Caution
STP on a bridge is disabled by default. If you enable STP, the bridge
provides default STP parameters that are adequate for most
networks. Changing them without prior experience and an
understanding of how STP works might have a negative effect on
your network. You should consult the IEEE 802.1d standard before
changing any of the STP parameters.
1. From the Main Menu, type B to select Basic Switch Configuration.
2. From the Basic Switch Configuration Menu, type S to select Spanning
Tree Configuration.
The Spanning Tree Configuration Menu is displayed in Figure 22.
Figure 22 Spanning Tree Configuration Menu
The Spanning Tree Configuration Menu displays the current STP
operating parameters in two columns labeled Designated Root
and Bridge ID. The Designated Root column displays the STP
parameters from the root bridge. The Bridge ID column displays
the STP parameters of the switch you are currently managing.
3. Adjust the bridge STP settings as needed. To change a parameter,
type its corresponding bracketed letter and, when prompted, enter
the new information. The parameters are described below.
