PROTOCOL RELATED CONFIGURATION MENU
If there is no root port, then this switch has been accepted as the root device of the Spanning Tree network.
•Maximum Age – The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should receive configuration messages at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STA information (provided in the last configuration message) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the device ports attached to the network.
•Hello Time – Interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a configuration message.
•Forward Delay Time – The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding.) This delay is required because every device must receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.
