The Spanning Tree CST screen opens.
Field
Description
Bridge Priority
The value that helps determine which bridge in the spanning tree is
elected as the root bridge during STP convergence. A lower value
increases the probability that the bridge becomes the root bridge.
Bridge Max Age
The amount of time a bridge waits before implementing a
topological change.
Bridge Hello Time
The amount of time the root bridge waits between sending hello
BPDUs.
Bridge Forward Delay
The amount of time a bridge remains in a listening and learning
state before forwarding packets.
Spanning Tree
Maximum
Hops
The maximum number of hops a Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU)
is allowed to traverse within the spanning tree region before it is
discarded.
BPDU Guard
When enabled, can disable edge ports that receive BPDU packets.
This prevents a new device from entering the existing STP topology,
so devices that were originally not a part of STP are not allowed to
influence the STP topology.
BPDU Filter
When enabled, filters the BPDU traffic on the edge ports. When
spanning tree is disabled on a port, BPDU filtering allows BPDU
packets received on that port to be dropped.
Spanning Tree Tx Hold
Count
The maximum number of BPDUs that a bridge is allowed to send
within a hello time window.
Bridge Identifier
A unique value that is automatically generated based on the bridge
priority value and the base MAC address of the bridge. When
electing the root bridge for the spanning tree, if the bridge priorities
for multiple bridges are equal, the bridge with the lowest MAC
address is elected as the root bridge.
Time Since Topology
Change
The amount of time that has passed since the topology of the
spanning tree has changed since the device was last reset.
Topology Change
Count
The number of times the topology of the spanning tree has
changed.
