2. Open the configuration file you want to modify and then double-click that file’s
Bridging Configuration object.
3. Double-click the Spanning Tree Protocol object.

5. In the Bridging Priority box, enter the STP bridging priority for the SSR.
The bridging priority determines which bridge functions as the root bridge. You can
specify a number from 0 to 65535. The bridge assigned the lowest value is the root
bridge. The default is 32768.
6. In the Hello-time box, enter the number of seconds that you want to elapse between
the BPDUs STP sends.
Specify a number from 1to 10. The default is 2.
7. In the Msg Max Age box, enter the number of seconds you want to specify for the
SSR’s maximum age.
