Spanning Tree Bridge Information
The STA Bridge Information screen, shown in Figure 6-73, displays a sum-

• Priority - Device priority is used in selecting the root device, root port,
and designated port. The device with the lowest priority becomes the
STA root device. However, if all devices have the same priority, the
device with the lowest MAC address will then become the root device.
• Hello Time - The time interval (in seconds) at which the root device
transmits a configuration message.
• Max Age - The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without
receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
• Forward Delay - The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will
wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding).
• Hold Time - The minimum interval between the transmission of consec-
utive Configuration BPDUs.
