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 Sec) 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.
