Bridge Priority:
The lower the bridge priority value is, the higher the priority it has. Usually, the
switch with the highest bridge priority is the root. If you wish the MS888G2 to be
the root bridge you will need to ensure that other bridges on your network have a
higher bridge priority than that of this switch. The valid value is 0 – 61440.
Default:

Hello
Time:
The Hello Time is used to determine the periodic time to send normal BPDU
messages from the designated ports among all bridges on your network. It
determines how long a bridge should send this message to other bridges to tell
them I am alive. When the MS888G2 is the root bridge of the network, for
example all other bridges will use the hello time assigned by this switch to
communicate with each other. The valid value is 1 – 10 seconds.
Default:
2 seconds
