HP (Hewlett-Packard) 400 Network Router User Manual


 
Hello Time
Sets the time interval in seconds between BPDUs transmitted by the bridge.
Default: 2 (seconds)
Range: 1 to 10
Options
Skip this field if the spanning tree algorithm is not enabled.
Enter the Hello Time in seconds. If the spanning tree algorithm is enabled,
Hello Time sets the time interval between BPDUs. BPDUs are periodic,
formatted transmissions exchanged between bridges in the extended network.
They convey configuration and topology change data.
High Value (hex)
Sets the upper boundary of the range for filtering a frame based on a user-
defined bit pattern (hexadecimal value) within the MAC or data-link header.
Options
If you are filtering a single MAC or data-link header, leave this field blank and
enter the MAC or data-link header in the Low Value (hex) field.
If you are filtering a range of MAC or data-link headers, enter the highest MAC
or data-link header in the range.
For more information, refer to “Low Value (hex).”
Hop Count Reduction
Determines whether to limit the bridge hop count to seven hops or to provide
infinite hop capability.
Default: No
Yes
Enables infinite hop capability between the source-routing source and
destination.
No
Allows a maximum of seven hops between the source-routing source and
destination.
Internal LAN ID (Hex)
Assigns a numeric identifier to the bridge. The bridge uses the identifier when
constructing routing designators.
Default: 1
Disable: Leave blank
Range: 0 to FFF (hexadecimal)
Options
Enter a value from 0 to FFF (hexadecimal) to enable global source routing.
Leave this field blank to disable source routing.
Note: The internal LAN ID must always be network-unique.
