Using the Spanning Tree Algorithm
7-12 Device Control Menu Screens
Cost 100/19/4 This parameter (path cost) is used by the STA to
determine the best path between devices. Therefore,
lower values should be assigned to ports attached to
faster media, and higher values assigned to ports with
slower media.
(Path cost takes precedence over port priority.)
The default and recommended range is:
Ethernet: 100 (50~600)
Fast Ethernet: 19 (10~60)
Gigabit Ethernet: 4 (3~10)
The full range is 0 - 65535.
Fast Forwarding ENABLED Enables or disables the port to forward packets. All
ports currently displayed can be enabled or disabled at
once using the command near the top of the screen.
