STP Status
Parameter
Description
Current Root Status
MAC address
This is the MAC address of the root bridge.
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.
MAX Age
This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without receiving a
configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
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.
Forward Delay
This is the time (in seconds) the root switch will wait before changing states.
Current Bridge Status
MAC address
This is the MAC address of the current bridge.
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.
Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines the Root Hello Time,
Root Maximum Age and Root Forwarding Delay.
MAX 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 age 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.
