the MSAP2000 AAMS in standalone mode with a

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 i s 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 s witch. The allowed range
is 1 to 10 seconds.
