•
Priority - The bridge priority. The value range is 0-61440 and the default value is 32768.
The value must be in increments of 4096.
•
Mode - The spanning tree protocol mode. Options include Spanning Tree Protocol (STP),
Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
•
Forward Delay (sec) - The forward delay for the bridge. The value range is 4-30 seconds
and the default value is 15.
•
Hello Time (sec) - The hello interval time for the bridge. The value range is 1-10 and the
default value is 2.
•
Maximum Age (sec) - The maximum time to listen in seconds. The value range is 6-40 and
the default is 20 seconds. This feature is not available if running in MSTP mode.
The maximum age has a range of [2 x Hello Time +1] to [2 x Forward Delay - 1]. If you
specify a Maximum Age value that exceeds this range, an error message displays.
•
Re-enable Port Interval - The interval after which the port will be enabled. The value range
is 10-1000000 and the default is 300.
•
Re-enable Port State - Enables or disables the timeout mechanism for the port to be

•
Cisco Interop - Enables or disables Cisco interoperability.
•
Tx Hold Count - Select the transmit hold count for the bridge. The value range is 1-10.
•
Max Hops - Specify the number of hops in a region before the Bridge Protocol Data Units
(BPDU) are discarded and the information held for a port is aged. The hop count
determines when to trigger a reconfiguration. The value range is 1-40 and the default is
20.
•
Region - The Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) region.
•
Revision - The revision number for the configuration. The value range is 0-255 and the
default is 0.
