D-Link DMS-1100 Series User Manual Figure 4.77 - L2 Features > STP > STP Global Settings The fields that can be configured for STP Global Settings are described below: Item Description STP State STP State Select to enable or disable the Spanning Tree Protocol. STP Traps STP New Root Trap Select to enable or disable the STP new root trap option. STP Topology Change Trap Select to enable or disable the STP topology change trap option. STP Mode STP Mode Select the STP mode. The options to choose from are MSTP, RSTP and STP. STP Priority Priority (0-61440) This value is between 0 and 61440. By default, this value is 32768. The lower the value, the higher the priority. STP Configuration Bridge Max Age (6-40) Enter the bridge's maximum age value here. This value must be between 6 and 40 seconds. By default, this value is 20 seconds. The maximum age value may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly circulate throughout the network. Set by the root bridge, this value ensures that the Switch has spanning tree configuration consistent with other devices on the LAN. Bridge Forward Time (4-30) Enter the bridge's forwarding time value. This value must be between 4 and 30 seconds. By default, this value is 15 seconds. Any port on the Switch spends this time in the listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state. Max Hops (1-40) Enter the maximum number of hops that are allowed. This value must be between 1 and 40 hops. By default, this value is 20 hops. This value is used to set the number of hops between devices in a spanning tree region before the BPDU packet sent by the Switch will is discarded. Each switch on the hop count will reduce the hop count by one until the value reaches zero. The Switch will then discard the BDPU packet and the information held for the port will age out. Bridge Hello Time (0-2) After selecting RSTP/STP as the STP Mode, this parameter will be available. Enter the bridge's hello time value here. This value must be between 1 and 2 seconds. By default, this value is 2 seconds. This is the interval between two transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to all switches. This field will only appear when STP or RSTP is selected for the STP Version. For MSTP, the Hello Time must be set on a port by port basis. TX Hop Count (1-10) Enter the transmit hold count value. This value must be between 1 and 10. The default value is 6. This value is used to set the maximum number of Hello packets transmitted per interval. Table 4.47 61
