– Hello Time – Specifies the device Hello Time. The Hello Time indicates the amount of
time in seconds a Root bridge. The device 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.
– Bridge ID – Identifies the Bridge priority and MAC address.
– Root Bridge ID –Identifies the Root Bridge priority and MAC address.
– Root Port –Indicates the port number that offers the lowest cost path from this bridge to
the Root Bridge. This field is significant when the bridge is not the Root Bridge. The
default is zero.
– Root Path Cost – The cost of the path from this bridge to the Root Bridge.
– Topology Changes Counts – Specifies the total amount of STP state changes that have
occurred.
– Last Topology Change – Indicates the amount of time that has elapsed since the bridge
was initialized or reset, and the last topographic change that occurred. The time is
displayed in a day-hour-minute-second format, such as 2 days 5 hours 10 minutes and 4
seconds. The current root port and current root cost display as zero when this device is not
connected to the network.
– Interface – Indicates the port or LAG for which the STP information is displayed.
– STP Status – Indicates if STP is enabled on the port. The possible field values are:
– Enabled – Indicates that STP is enabled on the port.
– Disabled – Indicates that STP is disabled on the port.
– Fast Link – Indicates if Fast Link is enabled on the port. If Fast Link mode is enabled for
a port, the Port State is automatically placed in the Forwarding state when the port link is
up. Fast Link optimizes the STP protocol convergence. STP convergence can take 30-60
seconds in large networks. The possible field values are:
– Enable – Indicates that Fast Link is enabled on the port.
– Disable – Indicates that Fast Link is disabled on the port.
