STP Function: To selecting enable or disable STP function on the Switch.
Bridge Priority: This value between 0 and 65535 to specify the priority for
forwarding packets. The lower the value, the higher the priority. The default
is 32768.
Bridge Max Age: This value may be set to ensure that old information does
not endlessly circulate through redundant paths in the network, preventing
the effective propagation of the new information. Set by the Root Bridge,
this value will aid in determining that the Switch has spanning tree
configuration values consistent with other devices on the bridged LAN. If
the value ages out and a BPDU has still not been received from the Root
Bridge, the Switch will start sending its own BPDU to all other switches for
permission to become the Root Bridge. If it turns out that your switch has the
lowest Bridge Identifier, it will become the Root Bridge. The user may
choose a time between 6 and 40 seconds. The default value is 20.
Bridge Hello Time: The user may set the time interval between
transmission of configuration messages by the root device, thus stating that
the Switch is still functioning. A time between 1 and 10 seconds may be
chosen, with a default setting of 2 seconds.
Bridge Forward Delay: The maximum amount of time (in seconds) that the
root device will wait before changing states. The user may choose a time
between 4 and 30 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.
Port Path Cost: This defines a metric that indicates the relative cost of
forwarding packets to specified port list. The value between 1 and 65535 to
determine the cost. The lower the number, the greater the probability the port
will be chosen to forward packets. The default value is 10.
Port Path Priority: Select a value between 0 and 255 to specify the priority
for a specified port for forwarding packets. The lower the value, the higher
the priority. The default is 128.
