switch is not set as a root bridge. If a switch becomes a
root bridge, this value will take effect.
Max Age:
Sets a value between 6 sec and 40 sec.
Indicate that the time limit of the last BPDU received is
valid. Switch with the lowest bridge tag level that does
not receive the BPDU packet transmitted by the root
bridge when this maximum aging time is up, as it will
serve as the root bridge and transmit the BPDU packets
to all other switches. Therefore, you should select a big
value, to avoid the unnecessary repeated resetting of
root bridges.
Forward Delay:
Sets a value between 4 sec and 30 sec.
This setting represents the monitoring time for transitio-
ning the switch port from blocking status to forwarding
status. A bigger setting will result in a longer delay.
Version:
Select RSTP based on 802.1W (default value)
or STP based on 802.1D.
