Parameter

Description

Spanning Tree State

Shows if the switch is enabled to participate in an

STA-compliant network.

Bridge ID

A unique identifier for this bridge, consisting of bridge

priority plus MAC address (where the address is normally

taken from the agent).

Max Age

The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait

without receiving a configuration message before

attempting to reconfigure.

Hello Time

The time interval (in seconds) at which the root device

transmits a configuration message.

Forward Delay

The maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait

before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to

forwarding).

Designated Root

The priority and MAC address of the device in the

spanning tree that this switch has accepted as the root

device.

Root Port

The number of the port on this switch that is closest to

the root. This switch communicates with the root device

through this port. If there is no root port, then this switch

has been accepted as the root device of the spanning tree

network.

Root Path Cost

The path cost from the root port on this switch to the

root device.

Configuration Changes The number of times the spanning tree has been

reconfigured.

Last Topology
