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: The user may set the time interval between

transmission of configuration messages by the root device, thus

stating that the Switch is still functioning. A time between 1 and 10

seconds may be chosen, with a default setting of 2 seconds.

Bridge Forward Delay: The maximum amount of time (in seconds)

that the root device will wait before changing states. The user may

choose a time between 4 and 30 seconds. The default is 15 seconds.

Port Path Cost: This defines a metric that indicates the relative cost

of forwarding packets to specified port list. The value between 1 and

65535 to determine the cost. The lower the number, the greater the

probability the port will be chosen to forward packets. The default

value is 10.

Port Path Priority: Select a value between 0 and 255 to specify the

priority for a specified port for forwarding packets. The lower the

value, the higher the priority. The default is 128.

SNMP Setting

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an OSI Layer 7

(Application Layer) designed specifically for managing and

monitoring network devices. SNMP enables network management

stations to read and modify the settings of gateways, routers, switches,

and other network devices. Use SNMP to configure system features

for proper operation, monitor performance and detect potential

problems in the Switch, switch group or network.
