Bridge Parameter Descriptions
Parameter
Description
Instance
Spanning Tree instance
Root ID
Indicates the root switch bridge priority and MAC address.
Path‐Cost
The port path cost is used to help determine the designated
port for a segment.
Hello
The hello time parameter specifies, in seconds, how often the
bridge transmits a configuration bridge protocol data unit
(BPDU). Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the root
bridge hello value.
MaxAge
The maximum age parameter specifies, in seconds, the
maximum time the bridge waits without receiving a
configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigure
the STP network.
FwdDel
The forward delay parameter specifies, in seconds, the
amount of time that a bridge port has to wait before it
changes from discarding state to learning state and from
learning state to forwarding state.
Root Port
The elected root port for the STP instance (port used to reach
the root switch).
