Ethernet port (ETH B)
priority
128
0-255
The preference that STP gives to
this port relative to the other ports
for forwarding traffic out of the
spanning tree.
A higher numerical value means
a lower priority; thus, the highest
priority is 8.
Radio port (Radio A)
path cost
100
0-65535
The cost of using the port to
reach the root bridge. When
selecting among multiple links to
the root bridge, STP chooses the
link with the lowest path cost and
blocks the other paths. Each port
type has its own default STP path
cost.
Radio port (Radio A)
priority
128
0-255
The preference that STP gives to
this port relative to the other ports
for forwarding traffic out of the
spanning tree.
A higher numerical value means
a lower priority; thus, the highest
priority is 8.
The Radio and Ethernet interfaces are assigned to bridge group by default. When the user enables STP
and assigns a priority on bridge, STP is enabled on the radio and Ethernet interfaces. The interfaces
adopt the priority assigned to bridge.
The user can edit STP Priority, Bridge Max age, Bridge hello time, Forward Delay, STP Port priority and
STP Port Path cost.
The Transparent Aging Time determines the time to refresh entries in the Forwarding Table. The
Transparent Aging Time default value is 300 seconds.
Follow the steps below to configure the bridge STP for device in aCNPT Bridge:
1. Click on ’Networking | Bridge Configuration’ to access the Bridge Configuration page.
2. Choose ’Enable’ from the Spanning Tree Protocol pull down list.
3. Click on the ’Generic Port Table’ link to change the Generic Parameters.
4. Enter a value for the ’STP Priority’.
5. Enter a value for the ’Bridge Max Age’.
6. Enter a value for the ’Bridge Hello Time’.
7. Enter a value for the ’Bridge Forward Delay’.
8. Click on ’Transparent Aging Time’ link to change the ’Transparent Aging Time’.
9. Click on the ’Spanning Tree Port Table’ link to change the ’STP Ethernet Port’ parameters.
