Forward Delay (4~30 sec) T
his time value, measured in units of a second, controls
how fast a port changes its spanning state whe
n moving
towards the Forwarding state. The value determines
how long the port stays in each of the Listening and
Learning states, which precede the Forwarding state.
This value is also used, when a topology change has
been detected and is underway, to age all dynamic
entries in the Forwarding Database.
Root Path Cost T
he cost of the path to the root device as seen from this
bridge.
Configuration Changes T
he total number of topology changes detected by this
bridge since the management entity was last reset
or
initialized.
Last Topology Change T
he time (in a second) since the last time a topology
change was detected by the bridge entity.
Configuration
Parameter Description
Usage Enable/Disable this switch to join in/withdraw from a STA
compliant network
Priority (1~65535) Priority is a decisive key for selecting root device, root
port, and designated port. The smaller number, the higher
priority. The device with the highest priority becomes the
STA root device. However, if all devices have the same
priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will
become the root device
Hello Time (1~10sec) The amount of time between the transmission of
Configuration bridge PDUs by this node on any port when
it is the root of the spanning tree or trying to become s
o, in
units of a second. This is the actual value that this bridge
is currently using
Maximum Age (6~40sec) The maximum age of Spanning Tree Protocol information
learned from the network on any port before it is
discarded, in units of a second. This is the actual value
that this bridge is currently using
Forward Delay (4~30sec) This time value, measured in units of a second, controls
how fast a port changes its spanning state when moving
towards the Forwarding state. The value determines how
long the port
stays in each of the Listening and Learning
