LABEL DESCRIPTION
Active Select this check box to activate STP.
Bridge Priority Bridge priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated port. The switch with
the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes the STP root switch. If all switches have the
same priority, the switch with the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch. The
allowed range is 0 to 65535.
The lower the numeric value you assign, the higher the priority for this bridge.
Bridge Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines Hello Time, Max Age and
Forwarding Delay.
Hello Time This is the time interval in seconds between BPDU (Bridge Protocol Data Units) configuration
message generations by the root switch. The allowed range is 1 to 10 seconds.
