Field

Description

 

 

STP Version

The version of Spanning Tree Protocol to use.

 

Possible versions include:

 

Common Spanning Tree 802.1d - The

 

standard spanning tree protocol.

 

rstp - Rapid spanning tree protocol

 

802.1w.

 

 

STP Max Age

The maximum age of Spanning Tree Protocol

 

information learned from the network on any

 

port before it is discarded, in milliseconds. This

 

is the actual value that this device is currently

 

using.

 

 

STP Hello Time

The amount of time, in milliseconds, between

 

the transmission of Configuration bridge PDUs

 

by this node on any port when it is the root of

 

the spanning tree or trying to become so. This

 

is the actual value that this device is currently

 

using.

 

 

STP Forward Delay

This speed, in milliseconds, at which a port

 

changes its spanning state when moving

 

towards the Forwarding state. The value

 

determines how long the port stays in each of

 

the Listening and Learning states, which

 

precede the Forwarding state. This value is

 

also used, when a topology change has been

 

detected and is underway, to age all dynamic

 

entries in the Forwarding Database.

 

 

STP Bridge Max Age

The maximum amount of time before

 

Spanning recalculates if there is no change in

 

network bridging status.

 

 

STP Bridge Hello

The amount of time between sending

Time

Spanning Tree updates if there are no detected

 

changes in the overall bridged network

 

topology.

 

 

STP Bridge Forward

The amount of time for the device to begin

 

forwarding packets after recalculating its

 

Spanning Tree table based on a change in

 

network topology.
