3.7.3.Displaying Bridge Information
The Bridge menu is used to display settings for the Spanning Tree Algorithm. For a more detailed description of how to use this algorithm, refer to “Spanning Tree Algorithm” on chapter 4.
Menu | Description |
Spanning Tree | Displays a full list of STA values used for the bridge. |
Bridge Information |
|
Spanning Tree Port | Displays a list of STA values used for each port, including status, |
Information | designated cost, designated bridge, and designated port. |
3.7.3.1.Viewing the Current Spanning Tree Information
The STA Bridge Information screen displays a summary of STA information for the overall bridge. To make any changes to these parameters, use the Bridge STA Configuration menu as described on chapter 3 “Configuring Global Bridge Settings”. The parameters shown in the following figure and table describe the current Bridge STA settings.
Parameter | Description |
Priority | Device priority is used in selecting the root device, root port, and |
| designated port. The device with the highest priority becomes the |
| STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the |
| device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root |
| device. |
Hello Time | The time interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a |
| configuration message. |
Max Age | The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without |
| receiving a configuration message before attempting to |
| reconfigure. |
