GS700TS Smart Switch Software Administration Manual
•Filtering – Filters BPDU packets when Spanning Tree is disabled on an interface or globally on the device. Filtering is used when a bridge interconnects two regions and there is a need to have a separate spanning tree for each region. Filtering the BPDU in the bridge connecting the two regions will serve this purpose.
•Flooding – Floods BPDU packets when Spanning Tree is disabled on an interface or globally on the device. This is the default value.
•Bridging – Forwards BPDU packets (subject to ingress and egress VLAN rules) when Spanning Tree is disabled on an interface or globally on the device.
Status
•Bridge Identifier – Displays the Bridge priority and MAC address.
•Time Since Topology Change – Displays the amount of time that has elapsed since the bridge was initialized or reset or the last topology change that occurred. The time is displayed in a
•Designated Root – Displays the Root Bridge priority and MAC address.
•Root Port – Displays the port number that offers the lowest cost path from this bridge to the Root Bridge. This field is significant when the bridge is not the Root Bridge.
•Max Age (Sec) – Displays the device Maximum Age Time. The Maximum Age Time is the amount of time in seconds a bridge waits before sending configuration messages. The default Maximum Age Time is 20 seconds.
•Forward Delay (Sec) – Displays the device Forward Delay Time. The Forward Delay Time is the amount of time in seconds a bridge remains in a listening and learning state before forwarding packets. The default is 15 seconds.
•Hello Time (Sec) – Displays the device Hello Time. The Hello Time indicates the amount of time in seconds a Root Bridge waits between configuration messages. The default is 2 seconds.
•CST Regional Root – Displays the Common STP regional bridge priority and MAC address.
