The page includes the following fields:
Object
• System Priority
• Hello Time
• Max Age
• Forward Delay
• Force version
• Max Age -. The value lies between 6 and 40, with the value being less than or equal to "(2 *
• Hello Time - The value being less than or equal to "(Bridge Max Age / 2) - 1". The default hello
• Forward Delay- Bridge Forward Delay must be greater or equal to "(Bridge Max Age / 2) + 1".
Description
Specifies the bridge priority value. When switches or bridges are running STP,
each is assigned a priority. After exchanging BPDUs, the switch with the lowest
priority value becomes the Root Bridge. The bridge priority value is provided in
increments of 4096 (4K increments). For example, 0, 4096, 8192, etc.
The default value is 32768.
Specifies the device Hello Time. The Hello Time indicates the amount of time in
seconds a root bridge waits between configuration messages.
Value Range: 1-10.
The default is 2 seconds.
Specifies the device Maximum Age Time. The Maximum Age Time indicates the
amount of time in seconds a bridge waits before sending configuration messages.
Value Range: 6-40.
The default max age is 20 seconds.
Specifies the device forward delay time. The Forward Delay Time indicates the
amount of time in seconds a bridge remains in a listening and learning state
before forwarding packets.
Value Range : 4-30.
The default is 15 seconds.
Specifies the Force Protocol Version parameter for the switch. The options are
Normal and Compatible
Normal – Rapid STP (802.1w): Detects and uses of network topologies that
provide faster spanning tree convergence, without creating forwarding loops.
Compatible – Classis STP (802.1d): Provides a single path between end
stations, avoiding and eliminating loops.
Bridge Forward Delay) - 1" and greater than or equal to "2 * ( Bridge Hello Time +1)". The
default value is 20.
time value is 2.
The time range is from 4 seconds to 30 seconds. The default value is 15.
