356.12 RSTP ConfigurationThe Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) is an evolution of the Spanning Tree Protocoland provides for faster spanning tree convergence after a topology change. The systemalso supports STP and the system will automatically detect the connected device that isrunning STP or RSTP protocol.6.12.1 RSTP Configuration Tab System Priority: A value used to identify the root bridge. The bridge with the lowestvalue has the highest priority and is selected as the root. If the value has beingchanged, user has to reboot the switch. The value must be multiple of 4096according to the protocol standard rule. Hello Time (1-10): The scale of 1~10 sec will be set as a period of time that howoften the switch broadcasts hello messages to other switches. Max Age (6-40): The number of seconds (from 6~ 40) which determines the amountof time that protocol information received on a port is stored by the switch. Forward Delay Time (4-30): The number of seconds (from 4 ~ 30) whichdetermines how long each of the listening and learning states will last before theport begins forwarding. Force version: Select the RSTP default protocol. Normal means RSTP protocol.Compatible means it‟s compatible with STP protocol.RSTP Configuration interface
