2 | Enter the following parameters to enable STP for bridging sessions: |
| – Spanning Tree |
| Select Enable to activate the STP for all RFC |
| STP for all modem bridging sessions and LAN Port. |
| – Priority |
| The modem STP priority (how centrally located this bridge is) in the network. A lower number |
| indicates a more centrally located bridge. The valid priority range is 0 to 65535. A priority of 32768 is |
| the default value. |
| – Hello Time |
| The time interval in seconds at which the modem should send STP packets. Default value is 2 |
| seconds. |
| – Forward Delay |
| The time interval in seconds that should be waited until the state of an interface can change. This |
| delay prevents interface states from changing so rapidly that STP cannot keep up with the current |
| network topology and therefore cannot efficiently managing bridging. Default value is 15 seconds. |
| – Max Age |
| The time interval in seconds after which Spanning Tree entries that are not relearned are deleted |
| from the bridging table. Default value is 20 seconds. |
