BPDU Handling — Determines how BPDU packets are managed
when STP is disabled on the port or device. BPDUs are used to
transmit spanning tree information. The possible field values are:
Filtering — Filters BPDU packets when spanning tree is disabled on
an interface. This is the default value.
Flooding — Floods BPDU packets when spanning tree is disabled
on an interface.
Path Cost Default Values — Specifies the method used to assign
default path cost to STP ports. The possible field values are:
Short — Specifies 1 through 65,535 range for port path cost. This
is the default value.
Long — Specifies 1 through 200,000,000 range for port path cost.
The default path cost assigned to an interface varies according to
the selected method (Hello Time, Max Age, or Forward Delay).
Bridge Settings
Priority — Specifies the bridge priority value. When switches or
bridges are running STP, each is assigned a priority. After exchanging
BPDUs, the device with the lowest priority value becomes the Root
Bridge. The field range is 0-61440
. The default value is 32768. The
port priority value is provided in increments of 4096.
Hello Time — Specifies the device Hello Time. The Hello Time
indicates the amount of time in seconds a Root Bridge waits between
configuration messages. The default is 2 seconds.
Max Age — Specifies the device Maximum Age Time. The Maximum
Age Time is the amount of time in seconds a bridge waits before
sending configuration messages. The default Maximum Age Time is
20
seconds.
Forward Delay — Specifies the device Forward Delay Time. The
Forward Delay Time is the amount of time in seconds a bridge remains
in a listening and learning state before forwarding packets. The
default is 15 seconds.
