Modifying RSTP parameters
The number of seconds this device or VLAN waits following a topology change and
consequent reconvergence.
The number of seconds this device or VLAN waits for a hello message from the root
bridge before deciding the root has become unavailable and performing a
reconvergence.
The interval between each configuration BPDU sent by the root bridge.
The preference that STP gives this port relative to other ports for forwarding traffic
out of the spanning tree. A higher numerical value means a lower priority.
The configured force version value. One of the following value is displayed:
•
0 – The bridge has been forced to operate in an STP compatibility mode.
•
2 – The bridge has been forced to operate in an 802.1W mode. (This is the
default.)
If set to enabled, then the port becomes an edge port in the domain.
If set to enabled, then a port is connected to another port through a point-to-point
link. The point-to-point link increases the speed of convergence. This parameter,
however, does not auto-detect whether or not the link is a physical point-to-point
link.
