Bridging>spanning tree parameters
This option allows you to change the following spanning tree
parameters. The default values are:
Bridge Priority: 32768
Max Age Time: 20
Hello Time: 2
Forwarding delay: 15
Bridge Priority:
The number can be from
0
to
65,535
, with
0
being the highest priority. The number consists of a 2-byte
bridge priority number and a 6-byte MAC address. Bridges use
this number to determine the root bridge for a loop-free
implementation. If bridges happen to have equal priority
values, the bridge with the numerically lowest MAC address
becomes the
root bridge
. When the root bridge
malfunctions, the bridge with the next priority number (the
next lowest MAC address) automatically takes over as root
bridge.
Max Age Time:
The aging time can be from
6-40
seconds, with
20
seconds as a default. All bridges in a bridged LAN use this
aging time to test the age of stored configuration messages
called bridge protocol data units (BPDUs).
For example, if you use the default
20
, all bridges delete
current configuration messages after
20
seconds.
Note
Aging time for BPDUs is different from aging time in the MAC address
table.
Hello Time:
Hello time can be from
1-10
seconds, with
2
seconds
as the default. Bridges use this parameter to determine the
time interval between generating and sending configuration
messages.
Forwarding Delay:
The default is
15
seconds. The time indicates
the waiting period before a bridge changes to a new state, for
example, becomes the new root bridge after the topology
changes. If the bridge transitions too soon, not all links may
have yet adapted to the change; therefore, loops may result.
