6 • PPP configuration
If you will not be enabling Spanning Tree options, go to step 9. Otherwise, click the Enable Spanning Tree
box to activate Spanning Tree Options. The following options are available for configuration:
–
Priority:
The switch with the highest bridge priority (the lowest numerical priority value) is elected as
the spanning-tree root switch, which is the logical center of the spanning-tree topology in a switched
network. If all switches are configured with the default priority (32768), the switch with the lowest
MAC address in the Layer 2 network becomes the root switch. Under some circumstances, traffic pat-
terns may require that a different switch be assigned as the root switch than that which was chosen by
default. Increasing the priority by typing a number in the Priority box that is less than the default 32768
value forces the switch to become the root switch.
–
Forward Delay:
This value is the time a port will remain in the listening and learning states before enter-
ing the forwarding state.
–
Hello Time:
The amount of time a port will remain in the listening and learning states before entering
the forwarding state.
–
Max Message Age:
The length of time the switch will store protocol information received on a port.

button to save changes.
