provide faster spanning tree convergence, without creating forwarding loops.

Compatible – Classis STP (802.1d): Provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops.

•Loop detection Enable or disable the loop detection.

#Note:

• Max Age -. The value lies between 6 and 40, with the value being less than or equal to "(2 *

 

Bridge Forward Delay) - 1" and greater than or equal to "2 * (Bridge Hello Time +1)". The

 

default value is 20.

•Hello Time - The value being less than or equal to "(Bridge Max Age / 2) - 1". The default hello time value is 2.

•Forward Delay- Bridge Forward Delay must be greater or equal to "(Bridge Max Age / 2) + 1". The time range is from 4 seconds to 30 seconds. The default value is 15.
