CONSOLE INTERFACE
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.
Forward	The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will
Delay	wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to
	forwarding).
Hold Time	The minimum interval between the transmission of
	consecutive Configuration BPDUs.
Designated	The priority and MAC address of the device in the
Root	spanning tree that this switch has accepted as the root
	device.
Root Cost	The path cost from the root port on this switch to 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.
Configuratio	The number of times the spanning tree has been
n Changes	reconfigured.
Topology	The time since the spanning tree was last reconfigured.
