Forward Delay:

You can set the root bridge forward delay time. This figure is set only by

the root bridge. The forward delay time is defined as the time spent from

Listening state moved to Learning state and also from Learning state

moved to Forwarding state of a port in bridge. The forward delay time

contains two states, Listening state to Learning state and Learning state

to Forwarding state. It assumes that if the forward delay time is 15

seconds, then the total forward delay time will be 30 seconds. This has

much to do with the STP convergent time which will be more than 30

seconds because some other factors.

The valid value is 4 ~ 30 seconds, default is 15 seconds.

Force Version:

Two options are offered for the user’s choosing STP algorithm. One is

RSTP and the other is STP. If STP is chosen, RSTP will run as a legacy

STP. Signamax 065-1600 series supports RSTP (802.1w) which is

backward compatible with STP (802.1d).
