2.8.1 Bridge Settings
Basic Configuration Description
Protocol Version The STP protocol version setting
Valid values: STP, RSTP, MSTP
Bridge Priority Controls the bridge priority. Lower numeric values have better 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 transition Root and Designated Ports to
Forwarding (used in STP compatible mode).
Valid values: 4 ~ 30 seconds
Max Age The maximum age of the information transmitted by the Bridge when it is the Root
Bridge
Valid values: 6 ~ 40 seconds (Max Age must be <= (FwdDelay-1)*2)
Maximum Hop Count It defines how many bridges a root bridge can distribute its BPDU information. This
defines the initial value of remaining Hops for MSTI information generated at the
boundary of an MSTI region.
Transmit Hold Count The number of BPDU’s a bridge port can send per second. When exceeded,
transmission of the next BPDU will be delayed.
