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

 

will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to

 

learning to forwarding).

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

 

the root device.

Configuration

The number of times the spanning tree has been

Changes

reconfigured.

Last Topology
