The following parameters can be set:
Parameter Description
Spanning Tree Status
Use the pull-down menu to enable or disable STP globally on the Switch. The
default is Disabled.
Bridge Max Age (6 - 40
Sec) <20>
The Bridge Max Age may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly
circulate through redundant paths in the network, preventing the effective
propagation of the new information. Set by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in
determining that the Switch has spanning tree configuration values consistent
with other devices on the bridged LAN. If the value ages out and a BPDU has still
not been received from the Root Bridge, the Switch will start sending its own
BPDU to all other switches for permission to become the Root Bridge. If it turns
out that your switch has the lowest Bridge Identifier, it will become the Root
Bridge. The user may choose a time between 6 and 40 seconds. The default
value is 20.
