Max Age: a timeout value to be used by all Bridges in the LAN

The third part is the port setting. It contains a display window to show the
current configuration for each port. You click to change the port
setting for STP/RSTP. The following fields are available:
Port: select the corresponding port to configure
Priority: the port priority in the switch. Low numeric value indicates a
high priority. The port with lower priority is more likely to be blocked
by STP if a network loop is detected. The valid value is from 0 to 240.
Path Cost: the valid value is from 1 to 200000000. The higher cost is
more likely to be blocked by STP if a network loop is detected.
Edge Port: All ports are set to be edge ports by default. Edge port
becomes STP port when BPDU is received. Also, it takes very short
time for an edge port to be in forwarding state.
Point to Point: Auto/Yes/No. A full duplex link is considered as a
point to point link. Otherwise, it is a shared link. Point to point link
may have less convergence time. Auto is recommended in most
cases.
