To configure Spanning Tree protocol for your W7x, in the main menu, in the Network section, click
“Spanning Tree Settings”.
• Spanning Tree Status: Disabled by default; to turn it on, select “On”.
• Bridge Hello Time: The hello time is the interval between sending one bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) and the
next unit on a port. Type an entry between 1-10 seconds (recommend using the default “2”).
• Bridge Max Age: Specify the maximum time the W7x can wait before saving its configuration BPDU information.
Type an entry between 6-40 seconds (recommend using the default “20”).
• Bridge Forward Delay: The forward delay is the amount of time the W7x will spend in listening and learning states.
Type an entry between 4-30 seconds (recommend using the default “4”).
• Priority: Assign a priority for the W7x in the Spanning Tree Protocol hierarchy. Type a number between 0-65535
(recommend using the default “32768” unless you have Spanning Tree enabled on any switches in the path
between the W7x and the router, then you would want the W7x’s Priority to be larger than any of the switches).
