When the bridge is initially powered-up, installation mode is activated and the bridge attempts to 
associate to a root bridge for 60 seconds. If it is unable to associate with a root bridge, it automatically 
assumes the root bridge role. The Install LED provides bridge association status during installation mode 
as shown in Table 3-2.
