The Page includes the following fields:
Object Description
 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.
 Max Hops
This defines the initial value of remaining Hops for MSTI information generated at
the boundary of an MSTI region. It defines how many bridges a root bridge can
distribute its BPDU information. Valid values are in the range 6 to 40 hops.
 Forward Delay
The delay used by STP Bridges to transition Root and Designated Ports to
Forwarding (used in STP compatible mode). Valid values are in the range 4 to 30
seconds
-Default: 15
-Minimum: The higher of 4 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1]
-Maximum: 30
 Max Age
The maximum age of the information transmitted by the Bridge when it is the
Root Bridge. Valid values are in the range 6 to 40 seconds.
-Default: 20
-Minimum: The higher of 6 or [2 x (Hello Time + 1)].
-Maximum: The lower of 40 or [2 x (Forward Delay -1)]
