STP Bridge Configuration
This page allows you to configure STP system settings. The settings are used by all STP Bridge
instances in the switch.
Basic Settings
Setting Description
Protocol Version
The MSTP / RSTP / STP protocol version setting. Valid values are STP,
RSTP
,
and
MSTP
.
Bridge Priority
Controls the bridge priority. Lower numeric values have better priority.
The bridge priority plus the MSTI instance number, concatenated with
the 6-byte MAC address of the switch forms a Bridge Identifier.
For MSTP operation, this is the priority of the CIST. Otherwise, this is
the priority of the STP/RSTP bridge.
Hello Time
The interval between sending STP BPDU's. Valid values are in the
range 1 to 10 seconds. Default is 2 seconds.
NOTE: Changing this parameter from the default value is not
recommended and
may have adverse effects on your network.
Forward Delay
The delay used by STP Bridges to transit Root and Designated Ports to
Forwarding (used in STP compatible mode). Valid values are in the
range 4 to 30 seconds.
