•Bridge Hello Time (1-10 Sec) [ 2 ] – The Hello Time can be from 1 to 10 seconds. This is the interval between two transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to tell all other switches that it is indeed the Root Bridge. If you set a Hello Time for your Switch, and it is not the Root Bridge, the set Hello Time will be used if and when your Switch becomes the Root Bridge.

•Bridge Forward Delay (4-30 Sec) [ 15 ] – The Forward Delay can be from 4 to 30 seconds. This is the time any port on the Switch spends in the listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state.

•Bridge Priority (0-65535 Sec) [ 32768] – A Bridge Priority can be from 0 to 65535. Zero is equal to the highest Bridge Priority.
