Configure the following settings:
Bridge Priority
Hello Time
Max Age
Forward Delay
Migrate Time
In the Port Configuration Table, you can select a port and configure the following:
Interface
Port Priority
Edge Status
Enter a bridge priority from 0 to 61440 in
increments of 4096. Valid values are 0, 4096, 8192,
12288, 16384, 20480, 24576, 28672, 32768,
40960, 45056, 49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440.
This value is the priority component of the bridge
identifier of the network node. The lower the
system priority, the more likely the Cisco RV180W
is to become the root in the Spanning Tree. The
default is 327688.
The hello time is the time period that the root of the
spanning tree waits before sending hello
messages. Enter a number from 1 to 10 seconds.
The default is 2.
The max age is the time period that the router waits
to receive a hello message. If the max age is
reached, the router tries to change the spanning
tree to use another path to the root node. Enter a
number from 6 to 40 seconds. The default is 20.
The forward delay is the interval spent by a port in
learning state before moving to the forwarding
state. Enter a number from 4 to 30 seconds. The
default is 15.
Migrate time is the maximum time spent by a port
locked in RSTP mode. As soon as this timer
expires, the port adapts to the mode (RSTP/STP)
that corresponds to the next hello message. Enter a
number from 0 to 65535. The default is 3.
Displays the interface that is a port of the RSTP-
enabled bridge.
The priority assigned tot he bridge port for
determining the root port.
Displays the edge status of the port.
