4.2.3 Configuring Spanning Tree Settings
Spanning Tree Status
Enables or disables the EnStation2 Spanning Tree function.
Bridge Hello Time
Specifies Bridge Hello Time, in seconds. This value determines
how often the EnStation2 sends hello packets to communicate
information about the topology throughout the entire Bridged
Local Area Network.
Bridge Max Age
Specifies Bridge Max Age, in seconds. If another bridge in the
spanning tree does not send a hello packet for a long period of
time, it is assumed to be dead.
Bridge Forward Delay
Specifies Bridge Forward Delay, in seconds. Forwarding delay
time is the time spent in each of the Listening and Learning
states before the Forwarding state is entered. This delay is
provided so that when a new bridge comes onto a busy network,
it looks at some traffic before participating.
Priority
Specifies the Priority number. Smaller numbers have greater priority over larger numbers.
