The C6576M Network Element dialog box provides monitoring and management information for properties related to the Catalyst 6000 family switch or Cisco 7600 series Internet Router. These properties include the Telnet and Enable passwords, global performance logging, and SNMP properties for the entire switch. This dialog box can be launched from a Network Element object within the Network, Physical, or Manager containment views.
The Network Element object list (left-hand side of the dialog box) allows multiple objects to be selected, so that configuration changes can be applied to multiple Network Element objects at the same time.

Spanning Tree Protocol—Configures whether or not Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled for this virtual LAN. This attribute has one of the following values:
enabled
disabled
notApplicable
Primary Root—Configures whether or not the switch is the root node in the STP instance. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil.
Root Area
The Root area of the C6576M VLAN dialog provides the following information:
Current Root Priority—Bridge priority of the current root switch in the spanning tree instance. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil. This attribute is read-only.
Root Interface—If this switch is not the root of the spanning tree, indicates the local port used to reach the root node. This is a local port that is a member of the VLAN. This value should match the Name field in the Interface dialog box corresponding to the root port (for example, "FastEthernet 2/5"). If the switch is currently the root or there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil. This attribute is read-only.
Current Root MAC—Bridge identifier address. This is the MAC address of the VLAN on the root bridge in the STP instance. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil. This attribute is read-only.
Root Path Cost—If this is not the root of the spanning tree, indicates the path cost to the root (this is the path cost of the root port). If the switch is currently the root or there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil. This attribute is read-only.
Root Election Area
The Root Election area of the C6576M VLAN dialog provides the following information:
Root Preference—STP root priority. This attribute may has following values:
no (0)
primary (1)
secondary (2)
Hello Time—Hello-time in seconds.
Diameter—Specifies the network diameter (maximum number of bridges between two end nodes). If specified, the switch will calculate the optimal hello-time, forward-time, and max-age. User may optionally specify an explicit hello-time.
Set Root button—Configures the root priority of the device in the VLAN STP instance. This action will set the VLAN STP bridge-priority and reset the hello-time, forward-delay, and max-age timers. This action does not guarantee that the switch will be elected the STP root, it only sets these values.
Advanced Area
The Advanced area of the C6576M VLAN dialog box allows you to configure the attributes described in this section. While these attributes are configurable, this is not the recommended method for configuring them. Alternately, if you specify a network diameter but no hello time, forward-delay timer, or max-age timer, using the Set Root button (in the Root Election Area) causes the switch to automatically calculate the optimal hello time, forward-delay timer, and max-age timer for that diameter.
Hello Time—Indicates how often the switch broadcasts hello messages to other switches in the STP domain. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, value is nil. You can optionally provide a diameter and hello-time to override the calculated value. If no diameter or hello-time are provided, the switch will use the default hello time of 2 seconds.
Priority—Spanning tree bridge priority. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil.
Forward Delay—Forward delay timer for STP state transitions. Determines how long each of the listening and learning states will last before the interface begins forwarding. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil. If no diameter is specified, the switch will use the default delay of 15 seconds.
Max Age—Describes the amount of time that STP protocol information received by a switch is stored before it expires. If there is no spanning tree instance for the VLAN, the value is nil. If no diameter is specified, the switch will use the default duration of 20 seconds.

EtherChannel Port Group
To create an EtherChannel, an interface must be assigned to it. You must specify the slot and port number of an interface in addition to the EtherChannel number when creating an EtherChannel. The mode of the EtherChannel is determined by the first interface assigned to it. To create a Layer 2 EtherChannel, assign an Layer 2 interface when it is created. To create a Layer 3 EtherChannel, assign a Layer 3 interface when it is first created.
Note A newly created EtherChannel will not appear automatically in the
EtherChannels object list (bottom left corner in
Figure 6-34). To
refresh this list, reselect the appropriate Software object from the Software
object list (top left corner in
Figure 6-34).

of 8. All other IOS versions support port priorities in multiples of 4.

when the interface actually begins trunking the VLAN traffic.
Priority—Describes the STP VLAN port priority of this interface. The VLAN port priority is used on trunking interfaces. On any switch port that is not in trunking mode, the STP port priority is used instead.
Cost—Describes the STP VLAN path cost of this interface. The VLAN path cost is only used on trunking interfaces. On any switch port that is not in trunking mode, the STP port path cost is used instead.

these arguments. You must provide a nondefault value for at least one of these
arguments, otherwise the action will fail.

Preempt—If enabled, the current router will attempt to overthrow a lower priority active router and attempt to become the active router. If disabled, this router will become the active router only if there is no such router or the active router fails.
true—Preempt enabled.
false—Preempt disabled.
Delay Minimum—Time difference (in seconds) between a router power up and the time it can start preempting the currently active router. This value is only applicable when preemption is enabled.
Priority—Priority value that prioritizes a potential hot standby router. The range is 1 to 255, where 1 indicates the lowest priority and 255 indicates the highest priority. The default priority value is 100. The router in the HSRP group with the highest priority value becomes the active router.
Hello Interval—Hello interval in milliseconds. If this value is not configured, it can be learned from the active router.
Hold Interval—Hold interval in milliseconds. If this value is not configured, it can be learned from the active router.
Configure button—Enable HSRP for IP on an interface. This action deploys an HSRP group on the interface. The HSRP group may optionally be assigned a primary IP address.

The value 0 signifies that the router is not eligible to become the designated router on this particular network. If more than one router has the same value, the routers use their router ID as a tie breaker.
Trans. Delay (sec)—The estimated number of seconds it takes to transmit a link state update packet over this interface.
