Information  and  configuration 
parameters  of  the  local  device
Bridge ID 
(read only)
The local Bridge ID, made up of the local 
priority and its own MAC address.
The format is  
ppppp / mm mm mm mm mm mm,  
with: ppppp: priority (decimal) and 
mm: the respective byte of the MAC 
address (hexadecimal).
Priority Sets the local bridge priority.  
The bridge priority and its own MAC 
address make up this separate Bridge 
ID. The device with the best (numerically 
lowest) priority becomes the root device. 
Define the root device by assigning the 
device the best (numerically lowest) 
priority in the Bridge ID among all the 
devices in the network.  
Note that you may only enter multiples of 
4,096 for this value.

Hello Time Sets the Hello Time.  
The local Hello Time is the time in 
seconds between the sending of two 
configuration messages (Hello packets).
If the local device is the root, the other 
devices in the entire network take over this 
value. Otherwise the local device uses the 
value of the root bridge in the “Root” 
column on the right.
