you set the priority to any value between 0 and 4095, the switch automatically sets the
value to 0. The default value is 32768.
• Bridge Max
Age (secs). The bridge maximum age time for the Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the time in seconds a bridge must wait before
implementing a topological change. The range is from 6 to 40, and the value must be
less than or equal to (2 * Bridge Forward Delay) – 1 and greater than or equal to 2 *
(Bridge Hello Time +1). The default value is 20.
• Bridge Hello T
ime (secs). The bridge hello time for the Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CST), which indicates the time in seconds a root bridge must wait
between configuration messages. The value is fixed at 2 seconds. The value must be
less than or equal to (Bridge Max Age / 2) – 1. The default hello time value is 2.
• Bridge Forward Delay (secs).
The bridge forward delay time, which indicates the
time in seconds a bridge must remains in a listening and learning state before
forwarding packets. The value must be greater or equal to (Bridge Max Age / 2) + 1.
The time range is from 4 seconds to 30 seconds. The default value is 15 seconds.
• Spanning T
ree Maximum Hops. The maximum number of bridge hops the
information for a particular CST instance can travel before being discarded. The
range is from 6 to 40. The default is 20 hops.

The following table describes the MSTP Status information that is displayed.

Field Description
MST ID The MST instances (including the CST) and the corresponding VLAN IDs associated with each
of them.
VID ID The VLAN IDs and the corresponding FID associated with each of them.
FID ID The FIDs and the corresponding VLAN IDs associated with each of them.
Configure CST Port Settings
You can configure a common spanning tree (CST) and internal spanning tree on a specific
port on the switch.
A port can become diagnostically disabled (D-Disable) when DOT1S experiences a severe
error condition. The most common cause is when the DOT1S software experiences BPDU
flooding. The flooding criteria are such that DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs in a
3-second interval. The other causes for DOT1S D-Disable are extremely rare.
