Description
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable STP globally on the Switch. The default is
Disabled.
Use the pull-down menu to choose the desired version of STP to be implemented on the
Switch. There are three choices:
STP - Select this parameter to set the Spanning Tree Protocol(STP) globally on the switch.
RSTP - Select this parameter to set the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) globally on
the Switch.
MSTP - Select this parameter to set the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) globally on
the Switch.
The Hello Time can be set from 1 to 10 seconds. This is the interval between two
transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to tell all other switches that it is
indeed the Root Bridge. This field will only appear here when STP or RSTP is selected for
the STP Version. For MSTP, the Hello Time must be set on a port per port basis. See the
STP Port Settings section for further details.
