6.4.6 Spanning Tree
Spanning Tree Protocol can prevent traffic looping in network. It can be configured for switch unit (bridge) and port
unit. If spanning tree function is enabled, any link down to link up will have several seconds delay for the port going to
forwarding state.
[Setting of Bridge]
Here are the parameters for Spanning Tree operation on the switch.
Enable/Disable
: enable/disable spanning tree operation
Force Version
: It will operate as Rapid Spanning Tree in “Normal” state. And it can be forced to operate at old
Spanning Tree mode if “Compatible with old STP” is selected.
Bridge Priority
(0~61440) : Bridge priority is for selecting the root device, root port, and designated port. The device
with the highest priority (lowest value) becomes the STA root device. If all devices have the same priority, the device
with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
Hello Time
(1~10) : the period to send the spanning tree maintenance packet if the switch is the root of the spanning
tree. Default is 2 seconds.
Maximum Age
(6~40) : the spanning tree aging time if no spanning tree maintenance packet is received. It will cause
the spanning tree to re-create. Default is 20 seconds.
Forward Delay
(4~30): the maximum waiting time before changing states (i.e., learning to forwarding). This delay is
required because every device must receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In
