Bridge forward delay

15

4-30

The period of time a bridge will

 

 

 

wait (the listen and learn period)

 

 

 

before beginning to forward data

 

 

 

packets.

 

 

 

 

Ethernet port (ETH A)

100

0-65535

The cost of using the port to

path cost

 

 

reach the root bridge. When

 

 

 

selecting among multiple links to

 

 

 

the root bridge, STP chooses the

 

 

 

link with the lowest path cost and

 

 

 

blocks the other paths. Each port

 

 

 

type has its own default STP path

 

 

 

cost.

 

 

 

 

Ethernet port (ETH A)

128

0-255

The preference that STP gives to

priority

 

 

this port relative to the other ports

 

 

 

for forwarding traffic out of the

 

 

 

spanning tree.

 

 

 

A higher numerical value means

 

 

 

a lower priority; thus, the highest

 

 

 

priority is 8.

Ethernet port (ETH B)

100

0-65535

The cost of using the port to

path cost

 

 

reach the root bridge. When

 

 

 

selecting among multiple links to

 

 

 

the root bridge, STP chooses the

 

 

 

link with the lowest path cost and

 

 

 

blocks the other paths. Each port

 

 

 

type has its own default STP path

 

 

 

cost.

 

 

 

 

Ethernet port (ETH B)

128

0-255

The preference that STP gives to

priority

 

 

this port relative to the other ports

 

 

 

for forwarding traffic out of the

 

 

 

spanning tree.

 

 

 

A higher numerical value means

 

 

 

a lower priority; thus, the highest

 

 

 

priority is 8.

 

 

 

 

Radio port (Radio A)

100

0-65535

The cost of using the port to

path cost

 

 

reach the root bridge. When

 

 

 

selecting among multiple links to

 

 

 

the root bridge, STP chooses the

 

 

 

link with the lowest path cost and

 

 

 

blocks the other paths. Each port

 

 

 

type has its own default STP path

 

 

 

cost.
