Figure 36: STP Bridge Configuration
Parameter Description
Basic Settings
Protocol Version The STP protocol version setting. Valid values are STP, RSTP and MSTP.
Bridge Priority Controls the bridge priority. Lower numeric values have higher priority. The
bridge priority plus the MSTI instance number, concatenated with the 6-byte
MAC address of the switch forms a Bridge Identifier. For MSTP operation,
this is the priority of the CIST. Otherwise, this is the priority of the STP/RSTP
bridge.
Forward Delay The delay used by STP Bridges to transit Root and Designated Ports to
Forwarding state (used in STP compatible mode). Valid values are in the
range 4 to 30 seconds.
Max Age The maximum age of the information transmitted by the Bridge when it is the
Root Bridge. Valid values are in the range 6 to 40 seconds, and MaxAge
must be <= (FwdDelay-1)*2.
Maximum Hop count This defines the initial value of remaining Hops for MSTI information
generated at the boundary of an MSTI region. It defines how many bridges a
root bridge can distribute its BPDU information to. Valid values are in the
range 6 to 40 hops.
Transmit Hold Count The number of BPDUs a bridge port can send per second. When exceeded,
transmission of the next BPDU will be delayed. Valid values are in the range
1 to 10 BPDUs per second.
Advanced Settings
Edge Port BPDU Filtering Control whether a port explicitly configured as Edge will transmit
and receive BPDUs.
