Spanning Tree Parameters
The operation of the spanning tree algorithm is governed by several
parameters. You should attempt to set these parameters only if you have
experience with the 802.1D specification.
Bridge Priority
Setting the Bridge Priority to a low value will make it more likely that the
current bridge will become the root bridge. If the current bridge is located
physically near the center of your network, you may wish to decrease the
Bridge Priority from its default value of 0x8000. If the current bridge is near
the edge of your network, it is best to leave the value of the Bridge Priority at
its default.
Hello Time
This is the time period between BPDUs transmitted by each bridge.
