Root refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge). Our Bridge is
this Switch. This Switch may also be the root bridge.
This is the unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of the bridge priority plus
the MAC address. This ID is the same for Root and Our Bridge if the Switch is
the root switch.
This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root switch transmits a
configuration message. The root bridge determines Hello Time, Max Age and
Forwarding Delay.
This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch can wait without receiving a
configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
