• BPDU: When Spanning tree is disabled, BPDU flooding is a configurable option. If
BPDU flooding is enabled, the BPDU will be forwarded to all the linkup ports
• RSTP Switch Setting: The RSTP switch settings allow you to control the RSTP
parameter from the bridge point of view.
• Designated Root Bridge: The bridge identifier of the root of the spanning tree is
determined by the RSTP protocol as executed by this node. The bridge identifier value is
used as the Root Identifier parameter in all configuration bridge PDUS originated by this
node.
• Priority: configures the priority of the current bridge.
• Max Age: configures the maximum age of the current bridge. This is the maximum age of
spanning tree protocol information learned from the network on any port before it is
discarded, in units of hundredths of a second. This is the actual value that this bridge is
currently using.
