General Configuration
The Spanning Tree General Configuration menu provides the ability to change the
following parameters:
1---Aging Time
This field allows you to define how many seconds a learned MAC address can
be inactive before it is “aged” or unlearned. This field is configurable in the
range of 10 to 1,000,000 seconds with a default of 300 seconds.
2---Bridge Priority
This field allows you to determine which bridge within the network is
designated as the root bridge (bridge with the highest priority). This field is
configurable in the range of 0 to 65535 (where low number = high priority)
with a default of 32768.
3---Bridge Hello Time
This field allows you to define how many seconds elapse between hello time
messages that are sent from this switch to all other switches, if the Spanning
Tree Protocol has defined this switch as the root switch. This field is
configurable in the range of 1 to 65535 seconds with a default of 2 seconds.
4---Bridge Max Age Time
This field allows you to define how many seconds the network waits
to discard a hello time frame if a response is not received. This field is
configurable from 1 to 65535 seconds with a default of 20 seconds.
5---Bridge Forward Delay
This field allows you to define how many seconds the switch delays
forwarding frames after a network topology change. The field value is
configurable in the range of 1 to 65535 seconds with a default of
15 seconds.
Port Configuration
The Spanning Tree Port Configuration menu lists the port numbers, the port
names, the port IDs, whether or not the port is enabled, and the current state of the
port. To examine and change individual port statistics, enter the corresponding
port number in the command line.
