if a BPDU has still not been received
from the Root Bridge, your Switch
will start sending its own BPDU to all
other Switches for permission to
become the Root Bridge. If it turns
out that your Switch has the lowest
Bridge Identifier, it will become the
Root Bridge.
The Hello Time can be set from 1 to
10 seconds. This is the interval
between two transmissions of BPDU
packets sent by the Root Bridge to
tell all other Switches that it is
