Indicates the Root bridge of the Spanning Tree.

Explanation of “Global Settings” Items

Forwarding Delay (sec.)

Setting Description Factory Default

Numerical value input by user

(4-30)

The amount of time this device waits before checking

to see if it should change to a different state.

Hello time (sec.)

Setting Description Factory Default

Numerical value input by user

(1-10)

The root of the Spanning Tree topology periodically

sends out a “hello” message to other devices on the

network to check if the

topology is healthy. The “hello

time” is the amount of time the root waits between

sending hello messages.

Max Hops

Setting Description Factory Default

Numerical value input by user

(6-40)

The MSTP maximum hops value is the maximum

number of hops in the region.

Configure the maximum

number of hops a BPDU can be forwarded in the MSTP

region.
