In this user interface, you can configure bridge parameters to run the spanning tree protocol.
In the NE Explorer, click the board and select . Click the Bridge Parameters tab.

Description |
|---|---|---|
VB |
VB ID-VB Name |
Displays the VB ID and VB name. |
Priority |
0-61440, in step length of 4096 Default: 32768 |
VB Priority (Bridge Parameters) indicates the fixed parameters of the bridge, used for selecting the role of the bridge and computing the topology of the spanning tree. As the value of the parameter decreases, the VB priority increases and the bridge is more likely to be selected as a root bridge. |
MAC Address |
00-00-00-00-00-00 to FE-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF |
Bridge MAC address, a part of bridge ID. |
Max Age (s) |
6 to 40 |
Configures the maximum life cycle of messages. The parameter value must comply with the following rule: 2 x (Hello Time + 1) ≤ Max Age ≤ 2 x (Forward Delay - 1) |
Hello Time (s) |
1 to 10 |
Configures the sending cycle of messages. The parameter value must comply with the following rule: 2 x (Hello Time + 1) ≤ Max Age ≤ 2 x (Forward Delay - 1) |
Forward Delay (s) |
4 to 30 |
Configures port status conversion delay. The parameter value must comply with the following rule: 2 x(Hello Time + 1) ≤ Max Age ≤ 2 x (Forward Delay - 1) |
TxHoldCount (per second) |
1 to 10 |
The number of BPDUs that a VB port transmits per second. |
