LABEL | DESCRIPTION |

Bridge Priority | Bridge priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated port. |
| The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes the STP root |
| switch. If all switches have the same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC |
| address will then become the root switch. Select a value from the |
| box. |
| The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this bridge. |
| Bridge Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines Hello Time, |
| Max Age and Forwarding Delay. |
Hello Time | This is the time interval in seconds between BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units) |
| configuration message generations by the root switch. The allowed range is 1 to 10 |
| seconds. |
