D-Link xStack DGS-3600 Series User Manual - Forwarding & Filtering
xStack DGS-3600 Series Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet Managed Switch
value of
False
indicates that the port cannot have P2P status.
Auto
allows the port to have P2P
status whenever possible and operate as if the P2P status were true. If the port cannot
maintain this status, (for example if the port is forced to half-duplex operation) the P2P status
changes to operate as if the P2P value were
False
. The default setting for this parameter is
True
.
State
This drop-down menu allows you to enable or disable STP for the selected group of ports. The
default is
Enabled
.
LBD
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable the Loopback Detection function on the Switch for
the ports configured above. For more information on this function, see the Loopback Detection
field in the
STP Bridge Global Settings
window, mentioned earlier in this section.
BPDU
Choosing
True
will allow the forwarding of BPDU packets in the specified ports from other
network devices. This will go into effect only if STP is globally disabled AND Forwarding BPDU
is globally enabled (See the
STP Bridge Global Settings
window above).
The default setting
False
, does not forward BPDU packets when STP is disabled.
Click
Apply
to implement changes made.
NOTE:
If you want to enable Forwarding BPDU on a per port basis, the following settings must first be
in effect: 1. STP must be globally disabled and 2. Forwarding BPDU must be globally enabled. These
are the default settings configurable in the
STP Bridge Global Settings
window discussed previously.
