down menu. This will enable or disable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), globally, for the switch.
Max Age: (6 .. 40 The Max. Age can be set from 6 to 40
sec) <20 > seconds. At the end of the Max. Age, if a BPDU has still not been received from the Root Bridge, your Switch will start sending its own BPDU to all other Switches for permission to become the Root Bridge. If it turns out that your Switch has the lowest Bridge Identifier, it will become the Root Bridge.
Hello Time: (1 .. 10 The Hello Time can be set from 1 to
sec) < 2 >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.
Forward Delay: The Forward Delay can be from 4 to (4 .. 30 sec) <15 > 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.
Priority: (0 .. A Priority for the switch can be set
65535) <32768> from 0 to 65535. This number is used in the voting process between switches on the network to determine which switch will be the root switch. A low number indicates a high priority, and a high probability that this switch will be elected as the root switch.
