CrossFire 8600/8605 Token-Ring Switches v. 1.2, P/N: 710001641 Switch Configuration
IEEE STP Uses Bridge Functional Address
•
Yes:
Sets IEEE Spanning Tree to use the Bridge Functional Address.
•
No:
Sets IEEE Spanning Tree to use the standard IEEE STP Address.
Bridge Priority
Enter a priority value for this switch. The bridge with the lowest priority value in
an STP becomes the root. (To change individual port priorities, enter the Port
Spanning Tree Parameters screen.)
Range: 0–65535
Default: 32768
Bridge Hello Time (in Seconds)
Enter a time between configuration messages when this switch is root. The
minimum value may not be less than 1. The maximum may not be more than the
lower of 10 or Switch Maximum Message Age/2–1. The upper range limit that
appears reflects the value currently selected for Switch Maximum Message Age.
Default: 2
Bridge Maximum Message Age (in Seconds)
Enter the maximum message age advertised when this switch is root. The minimum
value may not be less than the higher of 6 or (2 x (Switch Hello Time + 1)). The
maximum may not be more than the lower of 40 or (2 x (Switch Forward Delay –
1)). The range limits that appear reflect the values currently selected for Switch
Hello Time and Switch Forward Delay.
Default: 20
Bridge Forward Delay (in Seconds)
Enter the time the switch waits between transitions from listening to learning, and
from learning to forwarding. The minimum may not be less than the larger of 4 or
((Switch Maximum Message Age / 2) +1). The maximum may not be higher than
30. The lower range limit that appears reflects the value currently selected for
Switch Maximum Age.
Default: 15
TrCRF & Port Spanning Tree Parameters...
If you select the TrCRF & Port Spanning Tree Parameters item, you will be
presented with a screen listing the TrCRFs that have the current TrBRF as parent.
From this screen, you can select a TrCRF and modify the TrCRF and/or port
parameters as desired.
