DESCRIPTION

STP Status

Click STP Status to display the MSAP2000 AAMS's STP status.

 

 

Active

Select this check box to turn on RSTP.

 

Note: It is recommended that you only use STP when you use

 

the MSAP2000 AAMS in standalone mode with a

 

network topology that has loops.

 

 

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. The allowed range is 0

 

to 61440.

 

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.
