Web Management User Guide attempted to be set to any value between 0 and 4095, it will be set to 0. The default priority is 32768. • Bridge Max Age (secs) - Specifies the bridge maximum age time for the Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the amount of time in seconds a bridge waits before implementing a topological change. The valid range is 6-40, and the value must be less than or equal to (2 * Bridge Forward Delay) - 1 and greater than or equal to 2 * (Bridge Hello Time +1). The default value is 20. • Bridge Hello Time (secs) - Specifies the bridge Hello time for the Common and Internal Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the amount of time in seconds a root bridge waits between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2 seconds. The value must be less than or equal to (Bridge Max Age / 2) - 1. The default hello time value is 2. • Bridge Forward Delay (secs) - Specifies the bridge forward delay time, which indicates the amount of time in seconds a bridge remains in a listening and learning state before forwarding packets. The value must be greater or equal to (Bridge Max Age / 2) + 1. The time range is from 4 seconds to 30 seconds. The default value is 15. • Spanning Tree Maximum Hops - Specifies the maximum number of bridge hops the information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The valid range is 1-127. • Spanning Tree Tx Hold Count - Configures the maximum number of bpdus the bridge is allowed to send within the hello time window. The default value is 6.

Age / 2) + 1. The time range is from 4 seconds to 30 seconds. The default value is 15.
Spanning Tree Maximum Hops
- Specifies the maximum number of bridge hops the
information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The valid
range is 1–127.
Spanning Tree Tx Hold Count
- Configures the maximum number of bpdus the bridge

Field
Description
Bridge identifier
The bridge identifier for the CST. It is made up using
the bridge priority and the base MAC address of the
bridge.
Time since topology change

last changed.
Topology change count
Number of times topology has changed for the CST.
Topology change
The value of the topology change parameter for the

on any port assigned to the CST. It takes a value if
True or False.
Designated root
The bridge identifier of the root bridge. It is made up
from the bridge priority and the base MAC address of
the bridge.
Root Path Cost
Path Cost to the Designated Root for the CST.
Root Port Identifier
Port to access the Designated Root for the CST.
Max Age(secs)
Path Cost to the Designated Root for the CST.
Forward Delay(secs)
Derived value of the Root Port Bridge Forward Delay
parameter.
