Description
Protocol Version
The STP protocol version setting. Valid values are:
STP
(IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol)
RSTP
(IEEE 802.2w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol)
MSTP
(IEEE 802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol)
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 are in the range 4 to 30
seconds
-Default:
15
-Minimum:
The higher of 4 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1]
-Maximum:
30
Max Age
The maximum age of the information transmitted by the Bridge when it is the
Root Bridge. Valid values are in the range 6 to 40 seconds.
-Default:
20
-Minimum:
The higher of 6 or [2 x (Hello Time + 1)].
-Maximum:
The lower of 40 or [2 x (Forward Delay -1)]
Maximum Hop Count
This defines the initial value of remaining Hops for MSTI information generated at
the boundary of an MSTI region. It defines how many bridges a root bridge can
distribute its BPDU information. Valid values are in the range 6 to 40 hops.
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. Valid values are in the range 1 to
10 BPDU's per second.

Description
Control whether a port explicitly configured as Edge will transmit and receive
BPDUs.
Edge Port BPDU
Filtering
Edge Port BPDU Guard
Control whether a port explicitly configured as Edge will disable itself upon
reception of a BPDU. The port will enter the error-disabled state, and will be
