Port table

The port table can be used to set the following values separately for all available ports (LAN, wireless LAN, point-to-point connections).

• Mark as edge port Marks the port as an edge port which is not connected to any further bridges but to workstations or servers only. Edge ports switch immediately into the forwarding state.
  Note: Edge ports continue to be monitored by RSTP. If a port of this type receives BPDUs, then its status as an edge port is removed.
• Priority Defines the priority of the port. In the case of multiple network paths with identical path costs, the priority value decides which port is used. If priority values are identical then the port to be taken is the first in the list.
  Note: So as to maintain compatibility with RSTP, this value may only be adjusted in steps of 16 owing to the fact that RSTP uses only the upper 4-bits of this 16-bit value.
• Path-Cost-Override This parameter controls the priority of paths with equal value. The value set here is used to make the selection instead of the computed path costs.
  • Special values: 0 switches path-cost override off.
  • Default: 0
