Instant EtherFast® Series
Bridge Menu
The Bridge Menu is used to configure settings for the Spanning Tree Algorithm, as well as the global bridge settings for GMRP (GARP Multicast Registration Protocol) and GVRP (GARP VLAN Registration Protocol), traf- fic classes priority threshold, and address aging time.
•Bridge Configuration - Contains global bridge settings for STA (including bridge priority, hello time, forward delay, maximum message age), GMRP, GVRP, traffic class priority threshold, and address aging time.
•Spanning Tree Port Configuration - Contains STA settings for individual ports, including port priority, path cost, and fast forwarding.

EtherFast® Layer 3 Management
Bridge Configuration
The Bridge Configuration screen allows you to configure global bridge settings.
•Spanning Tree - Enable this parameter to participate in a STA compliant network.
•Bridge Priority - Bridge 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 pri- ority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device. Enter a value from
•Hello Time - Time interval (in seconds) at which the root device trans- mits a configuration message.
•Forward Delay - The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing states.
•Max Age - The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
•GMRP - GMRP allows network devices to register endstations with multicast groups.
