3.5.2 Set Up Spanning Tree Parameters
Use the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu to set various STP parameters for the 9161
within the network. To access the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu, follow these steps:
1. From the Switch Configuration menu, type 1, Global Spanning Tree Parameters, and
press .
2. At the Global Spanning Tree Parameters menu, type the number for an item and press
, then follow the prompts to set values for these parameters:
• Admin Mode: Enable or disable STP protocol.
• Version: Shows which IEEE specification this meets; d = Standard; w = Rapid; s =
Multiple
• Configuration Name: Name for configuration, typically MAC address, up to 32
characters
• Configuration Revision: Set a revision level between 1 and 65535
• Priority: Set the relative precedence within the STP control structure for the 9161,
from 1 (highest) to 65534 (lowest). The highest priority sets the root bridge, the
bridge that controls the spanning tree. If two or more bridges share the same pri-
ority, the lowest MAC address defines the highest priority.
• Hello Time (sec): Set how often the 9161 sends BPDUs if this 9161 is the Span-
ning Tree root.
• Forward Delay (sec): Set the time between port state transitions from Learning to
Forward if this bridge is the STP root.
• Max Age (sec): Set the Timeout value, how fast the 9161 deletes addresses from
the forwarding database.
• BPDU Forwarding Mode: Normal, Blocking, or Forwarding On Same VLAN
