Parameter

Description

Hold Time

The minimum interval between the transmission of consecutive

 

Configuration BPDUs.

Designated Root

The priority and MAC address of the device in the spanning tree that this

 

switch has accepted as the root device.

Root Cost

The path cost from the root port on this switch to the root device.

Root Port

The number of the port on this switch that is closest to the root. This switch

 

communicates with the root device through this port. If there is no root port,

 

then this switch has been accepted as the root device of the spanning tree

 

network.

Reconfig Counts

The number of times the spanning tree has been reconfigured.

Topology Up Time

The time since the spanning tree was last reconfigured.
