The parameters shown in the following figure and table describe the current bridge STA Information.

Parameter	Description
Spanning Tree State	Shows if the switch is enabled to participate in an
	STA-compliant network.
Bridge ID	A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of
	bridge priority plus MAC address (where the
	address is normally taken from the agent).
Max Age	The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait
	without receiving a configuration message before
	attempting to reconfigure.
Hello Time	The time interval (in seconds) at which the root
	device transmits a configuration message.
Forward Delay	The maximum time (in seconds) the root device

Designated Root	The priority and MAC address of the device in the
	spanning tree that this switch has accepted as the
	root device.
Root Port	The number of the port on this switch that is closest
	to the root. This switch communicates with the root
	device through this port. If there is no root port,
	then this switch has been accepted as the root
	device of the spanning tree network.
Root Path Cost	The path cost from the root port on this switch to
