STP Bridge Global Settings

This window is used to enable and configure the STP bridge global settings on the Swtich.

To view this window, click L2 features > Spanning Tree > STP Bridge Global Settings as shown below:

Figure 3 - 57 STP Bridge Global Settings window

The following parameters can be set:

Parameter Description

STP State

Use the radio buttons to enable or disable the STP Status.

STP Version

Use the pull-down menu to choose the desired version of STP to be implemented on the

Switch. There are three choices:

STPCompatability – Select this parameter to set the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

globally on the switch.

RSTP – Select this parameter to set the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) globally

on the Switch.

MSTP – Select this parameter to set the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)

globally on the Switch.

Forwarding BPDU This field can be Enabled or Disabled. When Enabled, it allows the forwarding of STP

BPDU packets from other network devices. The default is Disabled.

Bridge Max Age

(6-40 Sec)

The Max Age may be set to ensure that old information does not endlessly circulate

through redundant paths in the network, preventing the effective propagation of the new

information. Set by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in determining that the Switch has

spanning tree configuration values consistent with other devices on the bridged LAN. If

the value ages out and a BPDU has still not been received from the Root Bridge, the

Switch will start sending its own BPDU to all other switches for permission to become

the Root Bridge. If it turns out that your switch has the lowest Bridge Identifier, it will

become the Root Bridge. The user may choose a time between 6 and 40 seconds. The

default value is 20.

Bridge Hello Time

(1-10 Sec)

The Hello Time can be set from 1 to 10 seconds. This is the interval between two

transmissions of BPDU packets sent by the Root Bridge to tell all other switches that it is

indeed the Root Bridge.

Bridge Forward Delay

(4-30 Sec)

The Forward Delay can be from 4 to 30 seconds. Any port on the Switch spends this

time in the listening state while moving from the blocking state to the forwarding state.

TX Hold Count (1-10)

Used to set the maximum number of Hello packets transmitted per interval. The count

can be specified from 1 to 10. The default is 6.
