Bridge Hello Time (1–10 Sec)—Type the hello time. The range is 1 to 10 seconds. This
time is the interval between two transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge
to tell all other switches that it is indeed the Root Bridge. If you set a hello time for your
GbE Interconnect Switch and it is not the Root Bridge, the default hello time will be used
until your GbE Interconnect Switch becomes the Root Bridge.
Bridge Forward Delay (4–30 Sec)—Type the forward delay time. The range is 4 to
30 seconds. This interval is the time any port on the GbE Interconnect Switch spends in
the listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state.
Bridge Priority (0–65535 Sec)—Type the bridge priority. The range is from 0 to 65,535.
Zero is equal to the highest bridge priority.
Click Apply after making changes to the settings.
NOTE: To save the configuration settings permanently, you must enter them into NVRAM using the
Save Changes option on the Maintenance menu. Refer to the section, “Saving Changes,” earlier in
this chapter.
