Table 5-3. Default STP Parameters
User-Changeable STA Parameters
The factory default setting should cover the majority of
installations. However, it is advisable to keep the default
settings as set at the factory; unless, it is absolutely necessary.
The user changeable parameters in the Switch are as follows:
??
Priority
A Priority for the switch can be set from 0 to
65535. 0 is equal to the highest Priority.
??
Hello Time
The Hello Time can be from 1 to 10
seconds. This is the interval between two
transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root
Bridge to tell all other Switches that it is indeed the
Root Bridge. If you set a Hello Time for your Switch,
and it is not the Root Bridge, the set Hello Time will
be used if and when your Switch becomes the Root
Bridge.
Note: The Hello Time cannot be longer than the Max. Age.
Otherwise, a configuration error will occur.
