GarrettCom MNS-6K Switch User Manual


 
MAGNUM 6K SWITCHES, MNS-6K USER GUIDE
Priority: specifies the switch (bridge) priority value. This value is used along with the
switch MAC address to determine which switch in the network is the root device. Lower
values mean higher priority. Value ranges from 0 to 65535. Default value is 32768
Cost: A path cost is assigned to individual ports for the switch to determine which ports
are the forwarding points. A higher cost means the link is “more expensive” to use and
falls in the passive mode compared to the link with a lower cost. Value ranges from 0 to
65535. Default value is 32768
Status: Enables or disables a port from participating in STP discovery. Its best to only
allow trunk ports to participate in STP. End stations need not participate in STP process.
Forward-Delay: indicates the time duration the switch will wait from listening to learning
states and from learning to forwarding states. The value ranges from 4 to 30 seconds.
Default value is 15
Hello: When the switch is the root device, this is the time between messages being
transmitted. The value is from 1 to 10 seconds. Default value is 2 seconds
Age: This is the maximum time a message with STP information is allowed by the switch
before the switch discards the information and updates the address table again. Value
ranges from 6 to 40 seconds with default value of 20 seconds
