your LAN network.

Spanning Tree
Enable or disable the Spanning Tree function.
Spanning Tree Status
Specify Bridge Hello Time, in seconds. This value determines how often the device sends hello
Bridge Hello Time
packets to communicate information about the topology throughout the entire Bridged Local
Area Network.
Specify Bridge Max Age, in seconds. If another bridge in the spanning tree does not send a
Bridge Max Age
hello packet for a long period of time, it is assumed to be dead.
Specify Bridge Forward Delay, in seconds. Forwarding delay time is the time spent in each of
Bridge Forward Delay
the Listening and Learning states before the Forwarding state is entered. This delay is provided
so that when a new bridge comes onto a busy network, it looks at some traffic before
participating.
