Modify STP Port Parameters Window

This window appears when you select one or more VLANs and click Modify on the Port Parameters tab of the STP window.

Enter your new parameter settings using information in the Port Parameters Table and these guidelines:

Port Fast: Enable the Port Fast feature only if the port is connected to an end station. The Port Fast feature is automatically enabled on VMPS dynamic-access ports and cannot be enabled on ATM ports.
Path Cost: Enter a number from 1 to 65535. A lower path cost represents higher-speed transmission; this setting can affect which port remains enabled in the event of a loop. See the Path Cost Table.
Priority: Enter a number from 0 to 255 for IEEE or IBM. The default for both protocols is 128. The lower the number, the higher the priority.

Click OK to put your changes in effect and to close the window.
