Spanning Tree Bridge Information
The STA Bridge Information screen displays a summary of STA informa- tion for the overall bridge.
•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.
•Forward Delay - The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding).
•Hold Time - The minimum interval between the transmission of consec- utive Configuration BPDUs.
•Designated Root - The priority and MAC address of the device in the Spanning Tree that this switch has accepted as the root device.
