This page allows you to modify the Spanning Tree settings.

Enabling the Spanning Tree protocol will prevent network

loops in your LAN network.

Spanning Tree Status: Enables or disables the Spanning

Tree function.

Hello Time: Species Bridge Hello Time in seconds. This

value determines how often the device sends handshake

packets to communicate information about the topology

throughout the entire Bridged Local Area Network.

Max Age: SpeciesBridgeMaxAgeinseconds.Ifanother

bridge in the spanning tree does not send a hello packet for

a long period of time, it is assumed to be inactive.

Forward Delay:SpeciesBridgeForwardDelayinseconds.

Forwarding delay time is the time spent in each of the

Listening and Learning states before the Forwarding state

is entered. This delay is provided so that when a new bridge

comesontoabusynetwork,itanalyzesdatatrafcbefore

participating in the network.

Priority: SpeciesthePriorityNumber.Asmallernumber
