Parameter Default Description
Fast STA Mode Disabled This enables/disables the Fast STA Mode for the port. In this mode,
ports skip the Blocked, Listening and Learning states and proceed
straight to Forwarding.
The Fast STA Mode enables end-node workstations and servers to
overcome time-out problems when the Spanning Tree Algorithm is
implemented in a network. Therefore, the Fast STA Mode should
only be enabled for ports that are connected to an end-node device.
Configuring Bridge MIB Extensions
The Bridge MIB includes extensions for managed devices that support Traffic
Classes and Virtual LANs. To display the switch’s support for these extensions,
use the Extended Bridge Configuration screen as shown below:
Bridge Capability
Parameter Description
Extended Multicast Filtering The switch does not support the filtering of individual multicast
Services addresses based on GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol).
Traffic Classes The switch provides mapping of user priorities to multiple traffic
classes. (Refer to the Priority menu.)
Static Entry Individual Port The switch provides static filtering for unicast and multicast addresses.
(Refer to the Address Table.)
VLAN Learning This switch uses Independent VLAN Learning (IVL), whereby each
port maintains its own VLAN filtering database.
Configurable PVID Tagging The switch allows you to override the default PVID setting (Port VLAN
ID used in frame tags) and its egress status (VLAN-Tagged or
Untagged) on each port. (Refer to VLAN / VLAN Port Configuration.)
Local VLAN Capable This switch does not support multiple local bridges (that is, multiple
Spanning Trees).
