5.8.3 Displaying Bridge Information
The Bridge menu is used to display settings for the Spanning Tree Algorithm. For a more detailed
description of how to use this algorithm, refer to “6.1.3 Spanning Tree Algorithm”.
Menu Description
Spanning Tree Bridge
Information
Displays a full list of STA values used for the bridge.
Spanning Tree Port
Information
Displays a list of STA values used for each port, including status, designated cost,
designated bridge, and designated port.
5.8.3.1 Viewing the Current Spanning Tree Information
The STA Bridge Information screen displays a summary of STA information for the overall bridge. To
make any changes to these parameters, use the Bridge STA Configuration menu as described on 5.7.2
Using the Bridge Menu. The parameters shown in the following figure and table describe the current
Bridge STA settings.
Parameter Description
Priority Device priority is used in selecting the root device, root port, and designated port. The
device with the highest priority becomes the STA root device. However, if all devices
have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC address will then become the
root device.
Hello Time The time interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a configuration
message.
Max Age The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without receiving a configuration
message before attempting to reconfigure.
