RSTP – Configuration Continued…
Following the link for the view RSTP Port Configuration at VLAN#, the administrator or user can see the
current RSTP status of the ports on that VLAN. This will show information such as the Path Cost and the
Port State. If the switch sees a redundant path it will put the port with the highest Path Cost into Blocking
mode where it will discard packets coming in on that port. In the example below, TX3 is a redundant port
with port TX2, therefore TX2 is forwarding and TX3 is discarding.
If the administrator selects one of the ports on the previous screen, he or she can change the Port‘s Path
Cost, Priority, and the status of Admin Edge and Auto Edge.
