Forward Delay Time (4-30): Enter a value between 4 and 30 seconds. This value is the
time that a port waits before changing from Spanning Tree Protocol learning and listening
states to forwarding state.
This is the amount of time JetNet will wait before checking to see if it should be changed to
a different state.

Note: You must observe the following rule to configure Hello Time, Forwarding Delay, and
Max Age parameters.

Port Configuration
Select the port you want to configure and you will be able to view current settings and
status of the port.
Path Cost: Enter a number between 1 and 200,000,000. This value represents the “cost”
of the path to the other bridge from the transmitting bridge at the specified port.
Priority: Enter a value between 0 and 240, using multiples of 16. This is the value that
decides which port should be blocked by priority in a LAN.
Admin P2P: Some of the rapid state transitions that are possible within RSTP depend
upon whether the port of concern can only be connected to another bridge (i.e. it is served
by a point-to-point LAN segment), or if it can be connected to two or more bridges (i.e. it is
served by a shared-medium LAN segment). This function allows P2P status of the link to
be manipulated administratively. “Auto” means to auto select P2P or Share mode. “P2P”
means P2P is enabled, while “Share” means P2P is disabled.
Admin Edge: A port directly connected to the end stations cannot create a bridging loop in
the network. To configure this port as an edge port, set the port to the Enable state. When
the non-bridge device connects an admin edge port, this port will be in blocking state and
turn to forwarding state in 4 seconds.
