Spanning Tree Configuration

The following figures and tables describe Bridge STA configuration.

Switch

Parameter

Default

Description

Usage

Enabled

Enable this parameter to participate in an STA compliant

 

 

network.

Priority

32,768

Device priority is used in selecting the root device, root port, and

 

 

designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes

 

 

the STA root device. However, if all devices have the same

 

 

priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then

 

 

become the root device.

 

 

Enter a value from 0 - 65535.

 

 

Remember that the lower the numeric value, the higher the

 

 

priority.

When the Switch Becomes Root

Parameter

Default

Description

Hello Time

2

The time interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits

 

 

a configuration message.

 

 

The minimum value is 1. The maximum value is the lower of 10

 

 

or [(Max. Message Age / 2) -1].

Max (Message) Age

20

The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without

 

 

receiving a configuration message before attempting to

 

 

reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should

 

 

receive configuration messages at regular intervals. Any port

that ages out STA information (provided in the last configuration message) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the device ports attached to the network.

The minimum value is the higher of 6 or [2 x (Hello Time + 1)]. The maximum value is the lower of 40 or [2 x (Forward Delay - 1)].
