Intel Express 460T Standalone Switch Users Guide
Hello Time: Type a number from 1 to 10 seconds (default is 2 seconds).
This is the time between transmissions of configuration BPDUs (Bridge
Protocol Data Units) when the switch is, or is attempting to become, the
root in the spanning tree.
Max Age: Type a number from 6 to 40 seconds (default is 20 seconds). This
is the maximum time that information from a configuration BPDU is used by
the switch before it is discarded.
Forward Delay: Type a number from 4 to 30 seconds (default is 15
seconds). This is the amount of time between port states when the spanning
tree is changing its status from blocking to forwarding.
CONFIGURE SPANNING TREE FOR PORTS: Takes you to the
screen where you can set spanning tree values for individual ports.
