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.
