Type of STA (Toggle)
Allows you to set the method that switches use to decide which switch is
the controlling (Root) switch when two or more switches exist in parallel
(Spanning Tree Algorithm). Valid entries include IEEE, DEC, and None.
To set the STA, refer to
Section 5.10.1
.
Age Time (Modifiable)
Allows the user to set the amount of time (in seconds) the 2H22-08R
keeps an address in its switch table before discarding it. The device
discards an address from its switch table if it does not receive a valid
Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) from the applicable address in the
amount of time specified in the Age Time field. To change the Age Time
field from the default value of 300 seconds, refer to
Section 5.10.2
.
Port # (Read-Only)
Lists each switch port on the 2H22-08R. If the number of ports is greater
than eight, then the additional ports are listed on subsequent screens.
MAC Address (Read-Only)
