Rev Version 1.1
Root Port
The port used to connect to the Root switch. This port has the lowest root path cost.
Root Path Cost
Indicates how suitable this port is as a node for the Spanning Tree topology. A lower
value indicates greater suitability.
Max Age Time
The number of seconds that this device waits before checking to see if it should
change to a different state.
Hello Time
The time interval (in seconds) at which the switch sends out the BPDU packet to
check the RSTP status.
Forward Delay Time
The number of seconds a port waits before changing from Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol learning and listening states to the forwarding state.

Mode
Master/Slave
At least one switch must play the role of ring master switch in a ring topology. The
ring master switch is responsible for checking the connections in a ring topology.
Checking ring connections is performed by sending a BPDU packet every 10 ms
across the ring from master switch.
NOTE Additional switches can take the role of master switch. In this
case, multiple switches can be redundant with each other. However, it is
recommended that you not set too many switches as master switch because
resources are consumed to negotiate the selection of the primary master
switch.
