Configuring Global IP Routing Settings

502 Avidia System Configuration and Management User Manual

In the System Bridging Configuration window:

1In the Priority box, type the priority of the system (the entire chassis) within the network.

The valid range is 0 to 65535. The value 0 indicates the highest priority. The default value

is 32768.

2In the Max Age box, type the number of seconds after which entries in the Bridging Table

will be deleted if they are not re-learned. The valid range is 6 to 40. The default value is 20.

3In the Hello Time box, type the interval, in seconds, at which you want the system to send

Spanning Tree Protocol packets. The valid range is 1 to 10. The default value is 2.

4In the Forward Delay box, type the number of seconds you want the system to wait before

changing the state of a particular interface (e.g., to blocked). The valid range is 4 to 30. The

default value is 15.

This delay prevents the interface states from changing so rapidly that the STP cannot keep

up with the current topology of the network and cannot therefore manage bridging

efficiently.

5Do one of the following:

•To activate the settings and close the System Bridging Configuration window, click Set.

•To cancel the settings and close the System Bridging Configuration window, click Close.
