Classic STP — Enables Classic STP on the device. This is the default
■
value.
Rapid STP — Enables Rapid STP on the device.
■
Multiple STP — Enables Multiple STP on the device.
■
BPDU Handling — Determines how BPDU packets are managed
■
when STP is disabled on the port or device. BPDUs are used to
transmit spanning tree information. The possible field values are:
Filtering — Filters BPDU packets when spanning tree is disabled on
■
an interface. This is the default value.
Flooding — Floods BPDU packets when spanning tree is disabled
■
on an interface.
Path Cost Default Values — Specifies the method used to assign
■
default path cost to STP ports. The possible field values are:
Short — Specifies 1 through 65,535 range for port path cost. This
■
is the default value.
Long — Specifies 1 through 200,000,000 range for port path cost.
■
The default path cost assigned to an interface varies according to
the selected method (Hello Time, Max Age, or Forward Delay).
Bridge Setting Parameters
Priority — Specifies the bridge priority value. When switches or
■
bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging
BPDUs, the device with the lowest priority value becomes the Root
Bridge. The field range is 0-61440
port priority value is provided in increments of 4096.
Hello Time (1-10) — Specifies the device Hello Time. The Hello Time
■
indicates the amount of time in seconds a Root Bridge waits between
configuration messages. The default is 2 seconds.
Max Age (6-40) — Specifies the device Maximum Age Time. The
■
Maximum Age Time is the amount of time in seconds a bridge waits
before sending configuration messages. The default Maximum Age
Time is 20 seconds.
Forward Delay (4-30) — Specifies the device Forward Delay Time.
■
The Forward Delay Time is the amount of time in seconds a bridge
remains in a listening and learning state before forwarding packets.
The default is 15 seconds.
