Spanning Tree

Spanning Tree Status

Enable or disable the Spanning Tree function.

Bridge Hello Time

Specify Bridge Hello Time, in seconds. This value determines how often the device sends hello

packets to communicate information about the topology throughout the entire Bridged Local

Area Network.

Bridge Max Age

Specify 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 dead.

Bridge Forward Delay

Specify 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 looks at some traffic before

participating.
