Advanced Switch Settings

Table 1. Advanced Switch Settings
Field	Description
Bridge Priority	Indicates the priority of the switch in a Spanning Tree network configuration to determine the Root Bridge Switch. All switches are assigned a Bridge Priority. The Bridge Priority plus the Mac Address determine the Switch ID. The lower the numerical value of the Switch ID, the more likely the switch is the Root Bridge (switch). All switches in your network can be assigned the same default Bridge Priority. If this is the case, the switch Mac Address decides which switch is the Root Bridge Switch.
IGMP Snooping	Enable snooping of Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) network traffic to provide a method for intelligently forwarding multicast packets within a Layer 2 broadcast domain. By snooping the IGMP registration information, the device forms a distribution list that determines which end stations receive packets with a specific multicast address. Layer 2 switches listen for IGMP messages and build mapping tables and associated forwarding filters. IGMP snooping also reduces IGMP protocol traffic. Default: Disabled
MSTP Configuration	Enable or disable MSTP configuration for the site from the Site Switch tab. Port MSTP configuration is set based on port function (AP, Host, Inter-switch and Other).
VLAN Configuration	VLAN configuration is based on Switch port function: AP — All the tagged and untagged VLANS are configured for the AP's device group. Host — Administrator configurable. The Administrator can configure any of the VLANs that are configured in the system. Other — Default setting. Typically configures port to VLAN 1, but this is configurable for all VLAN(s) that are configured on ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. Interswitch — All tagged and untagged VLANS are configured for all AP device groups that are serviced by the switch, along with all of the VLANS used by the host and other port types.
SNMP Configuration	You can configure SNMP for the individual switch or for the full ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. For more information, see SNMP Configuration.
Switch Mode	Toggle between Switch CLI-Mode and Switch GUI-Mode. Select Change to GUI-Mode to provide CLI access under switch Monitoring for troubleshooting purposes. For more information, see Troubleshoot a Switch Using the CLI. Select Change to CLI-Mode to provide CLI access under switch Configuration to modify the switch configuration. Note: The Troubleshooting tab and CLI access is not available under switch Monitoring when the switch is in CLI-Mode.
