| switch. This switch may also be the root bridge. |

| address. This ID is the same for Root and Our Bridge if the switch is the root |
| switch. |
Hello Time | This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root switch transmits a |
(second) | configuration message. The root bridge determines Hello Time, Max Age and |
| Forwarding Delay |
Max Age (second) | This is the maximum time (in seconds) a switch can wait without receiving a |
| configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. |
