CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
Page 6 BRIM-E6 USER’S GUIDE
If Bridge 2 fails to receive the Bridge 1 BPDUs during the period defined
by "Hello Time", Bridge 2 will initiate a re-span by transmitting a
topology change BPDU and eventually come on line to carry the network
load.
Bridges using STA can be utilized to create very fault tolerant networks.
This section has presented only basic information about bridges and
Spanning Tree Algorithm. For additional information, refer to the IEEE
802.1d draft specification.
