Use the Setup tab to configure the spanning tree 
settings for each port. The following options are 
available:

■

Status – Enables and disables spanning tree for the 
port.

■

Edged Port – Enables and disables edged port for 
the port.

■

Link Type – Choose between Point-to-Point, 
Shared, or Auto for the link type.

■

Path Cost – The path cost is used to determine the 
best path between devices. The path cost method 
is used to determine the range of values that can 
be assigned to each interface.

■

Port Priority – Used in selecting the root device, 
root port, and designated port. The device with 
the highest priority becomes the STA root device. 
However, if all devices have the same priority, the 

device with the lowest MAC address will then 
become the root device.

If you modify any of these settings, click Apply to save 
your changes.

The Switch allows you to monitor traffic going in and 
out of a particular port. For traffic monitoring to 
work, you need to attach a network analyzer to one 
port and use it to monitor the traffic of other ports in 
the stack.

To set up traffic monitoring, you need to set an 
analysis port (the port that is connected to the 
analyzer), and a monitor port (the port that is to be 
monitored). Once the pair is defined, and you enable 
traffic monitoring, the Switch takes all the traffic 
going in and out of the monitor port and copies it to 
the analysis port.
