The Bridge menu is used to display settings for the Spanning Tree Algorithm. For a
more detailed description of how to use this algorithm, refer to “Spanning Tree
Algorithm” on chapter 4.
Menu Description
Spanning Tree
Bridge Information
Displays a full list of STA values used for the bridge.
Spanning Tree Port
Information Displays a list of STA values used for each port, including status,
designated cost, designated bridge, and designated port.
3.7.3.1.Viewing the Current Spanning Tree Information
The STA Bridge Information screen displays a summary of STA information for the
overall bridge. To make any changes to these parameters, use the Bridge STA
Configuration menu as described on chapter 3 “Configuring Global Bridge Settings”.
The parameters shown in the following figure and table describe the current Bridge STA
settings.
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.
