Table 1. Parameters of STP Parameter
Description
STP Mode
-
STP: Spanning-tree protocol.
-
RSTP: Rapid spanning-tree protocol. RSTP provides faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change.
Bridge Priority
The lower the number is, the higher the priority is. The range is from 0 to 61,440 seconds, in increments of 4096; the default is 32,768. Valid values are 0, 4096, 12288, 16384 ... and 61440.
A switch with higher bridge priority is more likely to become a root bridge.
Hello Time
The time between each BPDU that is sent on a port, which is used for port link diagnosis. The range is from 1 to 10 seconds. The default is 2 seconds.
Maximum Aging Time
The maximum length of time that passes before a bridge port saves its configuration BPDU information. The range is from 6 to 40 seconds. The default is 20 seconds.
Note:The maximum aging time must meet the following conditions:
-
Maximum Aging Time ≥ (Hello Time + 1)
-
Maximum Aging Time ≤ (Forwarding Delay - 1)
Forwarding Delay
The time interval that is spent in the listening and learning state when the topology changes. The range is from 4 to 30 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.
