Use theset bridge command to modify these values. Base Aging Time — Time to age out a known MAC address, default 300 Spanning Tree Forward Delay — Delay after coming up before learning,default is 15 Spanning Tree Priority — This bridge’s bid to be root bridge, default is32768 Access MACs Only — This can be enabled or disabled. Spanning Tree Mode — Sets spanning tree algorithm on. Default isDISABLED Base MAC Address — Address of the bridge Number of Networks — Number of networks in this bridge Type — Type of bridge: TRANSPARENT_ONLY is the defaultExcept for enabling Spanning Tree, most users do not need to change theadvanced parameters from their default settings.set bridge aging_timeThe Aging Time is the time (in seconds) for aging out forwarding tableinformation. The range of Aging Time is between 10 and 1000000 seconds. Usethe set bridge aging_time command to change the Aging Time.
