Bridge Configuration
Bridge Address
This shows the router’s MAC address.
Bridge Priority (0-
61440)
RSTP uses bridge ID to determine the root bridge, the bridge with the
highest bridge ID becomes the root bridge. The bridge ID is composed of
the bridge priority and the bridge MAC address. The bridge with the
highest priority becomes the highest bridge ID.
If all the bridge IDs have the same priority, the bridge with the lowest
MAC address will then become the root bridge.
Note:
The bridge priority value must be in multiples of 4096. A device
with a lower number has a higher bridge priority. Ex: 4096 is
higher than 32768. Note: The Web GUI allows you to select the
priority number directly. If you configure the value through the
CLI or SNMP, you may need to type the value directly. Make sure
that you follow the n x 4096 rules for the Bridge Priority.
Max Age (6-40)
Enter a value from 6 to 40 seconds. This value represents the time that a
bridge will wait without receiving Spanning Tree Protocol configuration
messages before attempting to reconfigure.
If the device is not the root bridge, and if it has not received a hello
message from the root bridge in an amount of time equal to
Max Age
,
then device reconfigures itself as a root bridge.
Once two or more devices on the network are recognized as a root bridge,
the devices renegotiates to set up a new spanning tree topology.
