Using the Console Interface309985-B Rev 00 3-97Table 3-35 describes the Spanning Tree Switch Settings parameters.Table 3-35. Spanning Tree Switch Settings ParametersParameter DescriptionBridge Priority Indicates the management-assigned priority value of the bridge ID in hexadecimalnotation, which is the most significant byte of the bridge ID. The STA uses this parameterto determine the root bridge (or designated bridge). For example, the bridge with thelowest bridge ID becomes the root bridge, with Bridge Priority values compared first,followed by the hardware addresses.Default Value 8000Range 0 to 65535DesignatedRootIndicates the bridge ID of the root bridge, as determined by the STA.Default Value 8000 (bridge_id)Range 0 to 65535Root Port Indicates the specific unit in a stack or standalone switch’s port number that offers thelowest path cost to the root bridge.Default Value Unit: 0 / Port: 0Range Unit: 0 to 8 / Port: 0 to 28Root Path Cost Indicates the path cost from this switch port to the root bridge.Default Value 0Range Not applicableHello Time Indicates the Actual Hello Interval, the amount of time between transmissions ofconfiguration Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) that the root bridge is currently using.Note that all bridges participating in the spanning tree network use the root bridge’s HelloInterval parameter value. See also Bridge Hello Time.Default Value 2 secondsRange 1 to 10 secondsMaximum AgeTimeIndicates the Maximum Age Time parameter value that the root bridge is currently using.This value specifies the maximum age that a Hello message can attain before it isdiscarded.Note that the root bridge’s Maximum Age Time parameter value becomes the actualMaximum Age Time parameter value for all bridges participating in the spanning treenetwork. See also Bridge Maximum Age Time.Default Value 20 secondsRange 6 to 40 seconds(continued)
