#priority: This is used to create the bridge ID for
#this bridge. this along with the MAC address of one
#of the ports in the group is used to set the bridge ID.
#This value allows the network manager to influence the
#choice of root bridge and the designated bridge. It is
#appended as the most significant portion of a bridge ID.
#A lower numerical value for bridge priority makes the
#bridge more likely to become the root.

#priority 128;
#hello_time: Interval between the transmission of configuration
#BPDUs by a bridge that is attempting to become the root
#bridge or is root bridge.
#
#It is the timer that elapses
#between generation of configuration messages by a bridge
#that assumes itself to be the root.
#Shortening this time will make the protocol more
#robust, in case the probability of loss of configuration
#messages is high. Lengthening the timer lowers the overhead
#of the alogorithm (because the interval between transmission
#of configuration messages will be larger).
#
#The recommended time is 2 sec.
#hello_time 2 seconds;
#
#forward_delay: The time value advertised by this
#bridge for deciding the time delay that a port must
#spend in the listening and learning states.
#
#This parameter temporarily prevents a bridge from starting
#to forward data packets to and from a link until news of
#a topology change has spread to all parts of a bridged
#network. This shousl give all links that need to be turned
#off in the new topology time to do so before new links are
