the Forwarding state immediately after restart; the Oper Edge Port indicates the current
RSTP state of the relevant port (see Table 6.1).
Port Oper Edge Port RSTP State
1 edge port forwarding
2 edge port forwarding
3 edge port discarding
4 edge port forwarding
5 edge port discarding
6 edge port discarding
7 edge port discarding
8 edge port discarding
Table 6.1 – RSTP Port Table Web Page
Below is a list of the possible RSTP states:
˽ Forwarding – The port is integrated in the active topology and forwards data.
˽ Discarding – The port does not take part in data transmission.
˽ Learning – The port does not take part in data transmission of the active topology;
however, MAC addresses are learned.
RSTP Port Configuration
This page displays the valid RSTP configuration settings for the selected port.
Note
Modifications of properties can result in complete reconfiguration of (Rapid) Span-
ning Tree.
If termination devices or subnets are connected without RSTP or STP via a port, it is rec-
ommended to set the Admin Edge Port to Edge Port. In this way, a link modification at this
port does not result in a topology modification.
Switch/Port ID
The validity of switches and ports is determined according to priority vectors:
˽ Bridge Identifier – A switch ID consists of 8 bytes as an unsigned integer value. When
comparing two switch IDs, the one with the lowest numeric value is of higher priority.
The first two bytes contain the priority. The last 6 bytes contain the MAC address and
thus ensure the uniqueness of the switch ID in the event of identical priority values.
