Adding and Editing Bridges
Chapter 7: Using Bridges 231
In this field… Do this…
Bridge Priority Select this bridge's priority.
The bridge's priority is combined with a bridged network's MAC
address to create the bridge's ID. The bridge with the lowest ID
is elected as the root bridge. The other bridges in the tree
calculate the shortest distance to the root bridge, in order to
eliminate loops in the topology and provide fault tolerance.
To increase the chance of this bridge being elected as the root
bridge, select a lower priority.
Note: If you select the same priority for all bridges, the root
bridge will be elected based on MAC address.
The default value is 32768.
This field only appears if STP is enabled.
IP Address Type the IP address to use for this gateway on this bridge.
Note: The bridge must not overlap other networks.
Subnet Mask Select this bridge's subnet mask.
