Customizing and Managing the BayStack Switches

Topology Change

Specifies the total number of topology changes detected by this bridge since the management entity was last reset or initialized.

Time Since Topology Change

Provides the time since the last topology change was detected by the bridge entity.

Root Cost

Provides the path cost from the switch to the designated root bridge.

Hold Time

Specifies the time value that determines the interval length during which no more than two configuration bridge PDUs shall be transmitted by this node.

Bridge Max Age

Specifies the maximum age (in seconds) that a hello message can attain before it is discarded. This parameter, set for this bridge by management, takes effect only when this bridge becomes the root bridge. Note that, if this bridge becomes the root bridge, its Maximum Age Time parameter value becomes the (actual) Maximum Age Time parameter value for all bridges in the spanning tree network (see also “Maximum Age Time” parameter).

Bridge Hello Time

Indicates the Hello interval (the amount of time between transmissions of Configuration Bridge PDUs) that is specified (set by management) for this bridge. This parameter takes effect only when this bridge becomes the root bridge. Range is 1 to 65535 seconds with a default of 2 seconds.

Note: Although you can set the hello time for a bridge with bridge management software, once the spanning tree computation process is complete, all bridges participating in spanning tree use the root bridge’s Hello Interval parameter value. If any bridge becomes the root bridge, its Hello Interval parameter value becomes the (actual) Hello Interval parameter value for all bridges in the spanning tree network (see also “Hello Time” parameter).
