Spanning Tree Protocol Settings (continued)
Description
bridge waits before deciding the network has
changed and the spanning tree needs to be rebuilt.
For example, with Max Age set to 20, the bridge
attempts to rebuild the spanning tree if it does not
receive a hello BDPU from the root bridge in the
spanning tree within 20 seconds.
Enter the number of seconds to define how often the
root bridge in the spanning tree sends out a hello
BPDU telling the other bridges that the network
topology has not changed and that the spanning tree
should remain the same.
Enter the number of seconds to define how long the
bridge's ports should stay in the listening and
learning transition states if there is a change in the
spanning tree.
Enter a number to indicates the relative efficiency of
a port's network link.
A port with a high path cost is less likely to become
a bridge's root port.
Enter a number to influence whether STP designates
a port as a bridge's root port.
A port with a low priority setting is more likely to
become a bridge's root port.
From the list, select one of the following for each
port configured:
• Enable—Use this setting to indicate whether the
port participates in STP. (This determines
whether the port blocks or forwards traffic.)
Disable—Use this setting to indicate that the
•
port does not participate in STP.
