Configuring Bridge Settings

To configure RSTP Bridge Settings:
1
Navigate to the Bridge Settings section of the Switching > Rapid Spanning Tree page.

2
RSTP Operation (default) – Use Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol.
STP Only – Use the original Spanning Tree Protocol.
3
To specify the priority of the root bridge, type the desired priority into the Bridge Priority field. The minimum is 0, the maximum is 61440, and the default is 32768.
4
To specify the Hello time, type the desired number of seconds to allow into the Hello Time (secs) field. The Hello time is the time interval between transmission of BPDUs by the root bridge. The default is 3 seconds, and the range is 1 to 10 seconds. The Hello time is communicated to other switches by including it in the BPDU.
5
To specify the forward delay, type the desired number of seconds into the Forward Delay (secs) field. The forward delay is the time allowed for the listening and learning state. The default is 15 seconds, and the range is 4 to 30 seconds. The forward delay setting is communicated to other switches by including it in the BPDU.
