Chapter 9 Spanning Tree Protocol Table 17 Configuration > Spanning Tree > STP Global Setting (continued) LABEL DESCRIPTION Priority Priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated port. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes the STP root switch. If all switches have the same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch. Select a value from 0~61440 from the drop-down list box. The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this bridge. Maximum Age Hello Time Forwarding Delay Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines the Root Hello Time, Root Maximum Age and Root Forwarding Delay. This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without receiving a BPDU before attempting to reconfigure. All Switch ports (except for designated ports) should receive BPDUs at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STP information (provided in the last BPDU) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the Switch ports attached to the network. The allowed range is 6 to 40 seconds. This is the time interval in seconds between BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units) configuration message generations by the root switch. The allowed range is 1 to 10 seconds. This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch will wait before changing states. This delay is required because every switch must receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result. The allowed range is 4 to 30 seconds. As a general rule: Note: 2 * (Forward Delay - 1) >= Max Age >= 2 * (Hello Time + 1) Root priority Root refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge). This field displays the root bridge's priority. This Switch may also be the root bridge. Root MAC Address This is the MAC address of the root bridge. Root Path Cost This is the path cost from the root port on this Switch to the root switch. Root Port This is the number of the port on the Switch through which this Switch must communicate with the root of the Spanning Tree. Root Maximum This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without Age receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. Root Hello Time This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root switch transmits a configuration message. The root bridge determines Hello Time, Max Age and Forwarding Delay. Root Forward Delay This is the time (in seconds) the root switch will wait before changing states. Topology Changes This is the number of times the spanning tree has been reconfigured. 76 GS1500-24P User's Guide

GS1500-24P User’s Guide

Priority

Priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated

port. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value)

becomes the STP root switch. If all switches have the same priority, the

switch with the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch.

Select a value from 0~61440 from the drop-down list box.

The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this

bridge.

Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines the Root

Hello Time, Root Maximum Age and Root Forwarding Delay.

Maximum Age

This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without

receiving a BPDU before attempting to reconfigure. All Switch ports

(except for designated ports) should receive BPDUs at regular intervals.

Any port that ages out STP information (provided in the last BPDU)

becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a

new root port is selected from among the Switch ports attached to the

network. The allowed range is 6 to 40 seconds.

Hello Time

This is the time interval in seconds between BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data

Units) configuration message generations by the root switch. The

allowed range is 1 to 10 seconds.

Forwarding

Delay

This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch will wait before

changing states. This delay is required because every switch must

receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward

frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting

information that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise,

temporary data loops might result. The allowed range is 4 to 30

seconds.

As a general rule:

Note: 2 * (Forward Delay - 1) >= Max Age >= 2 * (Hello Time + 1)

Root priority

Root

refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge).

This

field displays the root bridge’s priority. This Switch may also be the root

bridge.

Root MAC

Address

This is the MAC address of the root bridge.

Root Path Cost

This is the path cost from the root port on this Switch to the root switch.

Root Port

This is the number of the port on the Switch through which this Switch

must communicate with the root of the Spanning Tree.

Root Maximum

Age

This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without

receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.

Root Hello Time

This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root switch transmits

a configuration message. The root bridge determines Hello Time, Max

Age and Forwarding Delay.

Root Forward

Delay

This is the time (in seconds) the root switch will wait before changing

states.

Topology

Changes

This is the number of times the spanning tree has been reconfigured.
