4. Highlight “ Hello Time ” and press <ENTER> to input a value
(1 to 10 seconds) for the rate at which hello frames are to be
generated. Press <ENTER> again to confirm the chosen
value.
5. Highlight “ Maximum Message Age ” and press <ENTER> to
input a value (6 to 40 seconds) for the amount of time any
port within the Spanning Tree network will wait before
timing out its protocol information. Press <ENTER> again to
confirm the chosen value.
6. Highlight “ Forward Delay ” and press <ENTER> to input a
value (4 to 30 seconds) for the amount of time any port
spends in the listening and learning states. Press <ENTER>
again to confirm the chosen value.
7. Highlight the setting under the “ Path Cost ” column for the
chosen port and press <ENTER> to input a value (0 to
65535) for the path cost of that port. This parameter is used
by the STP algorithm to determine the best path between
devices.* Lower values should be assigned to ports attached
to faster media. Press <ENTER> again to confirm the chosen
value.
8. Highlight the setting under the “ Priority ” column for the
chosen port and press <ENTER> to input a value (0 to 255)
for the priority of that port’s use in the Spanning Tree
network. If the Path Costs for all ports on a switch are the
same, the port with the highest priority (i.e., lowest value)
will be configured as an active link in the spanning tree.
Press <ENTER> again to confirm the chosen value.
9. Highlight “ Take Effect Immediately ” and press <ENTER> to
immediately enable the parameter changes. Press <ENTER>
