5.10.1 RSTP Confi guration

System Priority: Sets the system priority of each switch within the network. The
switch with the lowest system priority will become the root bridge. If the switch
is used in a large-scale enterprise network, it is recommended to skip this setting.

Hello Time: Sets a value ranging 1 second to 10 seconds. This sets the time inter-
val for the root bridge transmission of BPDU packets to all of other switches, so
it is known which switch is serving as the root bridge. When a switch not serving
as the root bridge is set with a specifi c value, the value does not take effect. Only
when the switch becomes the root bridge is the setting active.

Max Age: Sets a value ranging 6 seconds to 40 seconds. If a switch does not
receive the BPDU packet transmitted by the root bridge when the maximum
aging time is up, the switch will take over as the root bridge and transmit the
BPDU packets to all other switches. If the switch has the lowest priority level, it
will continue to function as the root bridge. This setting should be set to a large
value, to avoid unnecessary resetting of the root bridge.

Forward Delay: Sets a value ranging 4 seconds to 30 seconds. This is the moni-
toring time for a switch port to change from blocking status into forwarding
status (i.e. how long it will take for a port to become active after another port
has failed). A higher value means greater delay in response.

Version: Selects the version of Spanning Tree to use: RSTP based on 802.1W (de-
fault value) or STP based on 802.1D (Note: RTSP is the current industry standard.)
