Forward Delay:
The user can set the root bridge forward delay time. This figure is set
only by the root bridge. The forward delay time is defined as the time
spent from Listening state moved to Learning state, and also from
Learning state moved to Forwarding state of a bridge port. The forward
delay time contains two states: Listening state to Learning state, and
Learning state to Forwarding state. It assumes that forward delay time is
15 seconds, and then the total forward delay time will be 30 seconds.
This has much to do with the STP convergent time which will be more
than 30 seconds because of additional factors.
The valid values are 4 ~ 30 seconds, default is 15 seconds.
Force Version:
Two options are offered for the STP algorithm. One is RSTP and the
other is STP. If STP is chosen, RSTP will run as a legacy STP. The
switch supports RSTP (802.1w) which is backwards compatible with STP
(802.1d).
