This page allows you to configure STP system settings. The settings are used by all STP Bridge instances in the Switch
| Object | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Settings | |
| Protocol Version | The MSTP / RSTP / STP protocol version setting. Valid values are STP, RSTP and MSTP. |
| Bridge Priority | Controls the bridge priority. Lower numeric values have better priority. The bridge priority plus the MSTI instance number, concatenated with the 6-byte MAC address of the switch forms a Bridge Identifier. For MSTP operation, this is the priority of the CIST. Otherwise, this is the priority of the STP/RSTP bridge |
| Forward Delay | The delay used by STP Bridges to transit Root and Designated Ports to Forwarding (used in STP compatible mode). Valid values are 4 – 30 seconds. |
| Max Age | The maximum age of the information transmitted by the Bridge when it is the Root Bridge. Valid values are 6 – 40 seconds |
| Maximum Hop Count | This defines the initial value of remaining Hops for MSTI information generated at the boundary of an MSTI region. It defines how many bridges a root bridge can distribute its BPDU information to. Valid values are 6 – 40 hops. |
| Transmit Hold Count | The number of BPDUs a bridge port can send per second. When exceeded, transmission of the next BPDU will be delayed. Valid values are 1 – 10 BPDUs per second. |
| Advanced Settings | |
| Edge Port BPDU Filtering | Control whether a port explicitly configured as Edge will transmit and receive BPDUs. |
| Edge Port BPDU Guard | Control whether a port explicitly configured as Edge will disable itself upon reception of a BPDU. The port will enter the error-disabled state, and will be removed from the active topology. |
| Port Error Recovery | Control whether a port in the error-disabled state automatically will be enabled after a certain time. If recovery is not enabled, ports have to be disabled and re-enabled for normal STP operation. The condition is also cleared by a system reboot. |
| Port Error Recovery Timeout | The time to pass before a port in the error-disabled state can be enabled. Valid values are 30 – 86400 seconds (24 hours). |
