as low as possible for a to force other devices
within the mesh network to defer to this client bridge as the bridge
defining the mesh configuration (commonly referred to as the root).
Motorola recommends assigning a Base Bridge AP with the lowest
bridge priority so it becomes the root in the STP. If a root already
exists, set the Bridge Priorities of new APs accordingly so the root
of the STP doesn't get altered. Each access point starts with a
default bridge priority of 63335.
The
Maximum Message age
Age timer. The Message Age timer is used to measure the age of
the received protocol information recorded for a port, and to ensure
the information is discarded when it exceeds the value set for the
Maximum Message age timer.
The
Hello Time
is the time between each bridge protocol data unit
sent. This time is equal to 2 seconds (sec) by default, but you can
tune the time to be between 1 and 10 sec. If you drop the hello time
from 2 sec to 1 sec, you double the number of bridge protocol data
units sent/received by each bridge. The 802.1d specification
recommends the Hello Time be set to a value less than half of the
Max Message age value.
