DGS-3024 Gigabit Ethernet Switch Manual

 

 

 

 

Max Age

The Max Age may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly circulate

 

 

through redundant paths in the network, preventing the effective propagation of the

 

 

new information. Set by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in determining that the

 

 

Switch has spanning tree configuration values consistent with other devices on the

 

 

bridged LAN. If the value ages out and a BPDU has still not been received from the

 

 

Root Bridge, the 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. The user may choose a time

 

 

between 6 and 40 seconds. The default value is 20.

 

 

 

 

Forward Delay

The Forward Delay can be from 4 to 30 seconds. Any port on the Switch spends this

 

 

time in the listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding

 

 

state.

 

 

 

 

Last Topology Change

This field shows the time, in seconds, since the last spanning tree topology change.

 

 

 

 

Topology Changes

This field displays the number of times that the spanning tree topology has changed

 

Count

since the original initial boot up of the Switch.
