4.4.1.1 Bridge Spanning Tree Algorithm
The Spanning Tree Algorithm and its Bridge Protocol work to support and maintain
MAC Bridge performance.
Important: These parameters are set with optimum default values. Do not
adjust these values without discussing the effects with your Psion
Teklogix representative.
Bridge Priority
This parameter helps a network manager select the active topology of the Bridged
Local Area Network by influencing the selection of the Root Bridge. The 2-octet
value is appended as the most significant portion of a bridge ID. A lower numerical
value for the bridge priority makes the bridge more likely to become the root.
The default value is 61440 (which equals 0xF000 in hexadecimal notation).
