5.8.3 Displaying Bridge Information
The Bridge menu is used to display settings for the Spanning Tree Algorithm. For a more detailed description of how to use this algorithm, refer to “6.1.3 Spanning Tree Algorithm”.
MenuDescription
Spanning Tree Bridge Displays a full list of STA values used for the bridge.
Information
Spanning Tree Port | Displays a list of STA values used for each port, including status, designated cost, |
Information | designated bridge, and designated port. |

The STA Bridge Information screen displays a summary of STA information for the overall bridge. To make any changes to these parameters, use the Bridge STA Configuration menu as described on 5.7.2 Using the Bridge Menu. The parameters shown in the following figure and table describe the current Bridge STA settings.
Parameter | Description |
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. |
