Specifies the priority assigned to a bridge.
By default, a bridge is assigned with a priority of 4096. To configure, enter a value between
0 - 61440 (as multiples of 4096).
: Bridge assigned with the lowest value gets the highest priority, and is selected as
Root Bridge.
Specifies the maximum time period for an AP device to hold the BPDU packet before
discarding it.
By default, it is 20 seconds. To configure, enter the Maximum Age between 6 seconds - 40
seconds.
Specifies the time interval in which the Root Bridge sends the BPDU packets periodically.
By default, it is 2 seconds. To configure, enter the Hello Time between 1 second - 10
seconds.
Specifies the time interval, for the bridge to be in Learning state and Listening state.
By default, it is 15 seconds. To configure, enter the Forward Delay time between 4 seconds
- 30 seconds.
: Forward Delay depends on the Maximum Age.
Specifies the name of the VAP enabled with the STP feature.
Specifies the current state of the port, in which the AP device enabled with STP feature is
functioning. Port State varies between Disabled, Listening, Learning, Blocking and
Forwarding.
Specifies the priority assigned to a port, to participate in the STP process and act as a Root
Port (port maintaining connectivity with root bridge, on the interface of an AP device). When
the AP device experiences a tie in determining the low cost path towards root, it uses port
priority value as a tiebreaker.
By default, the Port Priority is 16. To configure, enter a value in the range of 0 - 48 (as
multiples of 16).
: The state of the root port is always in Forwarding state.
Specifies the cost of the path. Path cost is a pre-determined value of the IEEE 802.11
standards, based on the bandwidth and speed of that path. The port with the lowest path
cost to the root bridge becomes the root port, gaining high priority.
By default, the Port Path Cost is 4. To configure, enter a value in the range of 1 - 65535.
