Configuring Spanning Tree port  

You can enable or disable Spanning Tree protocol on individual ports, and configure their port priority and path cost to help determine the designated port for a segment.

To configure spanning tree port:

  1. From the Device View, select a port orientation (Front or Back).
  2. Select a port.
    3. The port is highlighted.
  3. From the menu bar, choose Edit > WSM Card > Port/Back Port.
    4. The Web Switching Module Port dialog box opens to the General tab.
  4. Click the Spanning Tree tab.
    5. The Port--Spanning Tree tab opens.
  5. In the Priority field, type a priority (0 - 255) for the port. The port with the lowest port priority becomes the designated port for the segment.
  6. In the Path Cost field, type a cost (0 - 65535) for the port path. The faster the port, the lower the cost.

    Note Note: A setting of 0 tells the Web Switching Module to compute a Path Cost after the link speed has been autonegotiated.

  7. Click Set > Apply > Close.
    8. The port's priority and path cost are configured. To enable spanning tree on the port, see Enabling or disabling spanning tree on a port.
