occur. The smaller the number set, the higher the bridge
priority is. The higher the bridge priority, the more chance
the bridge has of becoming the root bridge. A bridge priority
ranges from 0 to 65535, with 0 being the highest priority.
Max Age(6-40 Sec) Maximum Age is a read-write object
that can be set from 6 to 40 seconds. At the end of the
Maximum Age, if a BPDU has still not been received from
the Root ridge, 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.
Hello Time(1-10 Sec) Hello Time is a read-write object
that 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 indeed the
Root Bridge. If you set a Hello Time for your Switch, and it
is not the Root Bridge, the set Hello Time will be used if and
when your Switch becomes the Root Bridge.
Forward Delay(4-30 Sec) The Forward Delay is a read-
write object that can be set from 4 to 30 seconds. This is the
time any port on the Switch spends in the listening state
while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding
state.
Bridge Priority(0-65535) A Bridge Priority is a read-write
object that can be set from 0 to 65535. This is the priority
number of the bridge. The value is used in conjunction with
the bridge MAC address to set the bridge ID, which in turn
is used when determining the root bridge of a multibridged
network. The root bridge is responsible for processing data
packets when network loops occur. The smaller the number
set, the higher the bridge priority is. The higher the bridge
priority, the more chance the bridge has of becoming the root
bridge. Zero is the highest priority.
