Spanning Tree Status Enable or disable the EnStation2
Spanning Tree function.
Bridge Hello Time Specify Bridge Hello Time, in seconds. This
value determines how often the EnStation2 sends hello packets
to communicate information about the topology throughout the
entire Bridged Local Area Network
Bridge Max Age Specify Bridge Max Age, in seconds. If another
bridge in the spanning tree does not send a hello packet for a
long period of time, it is assumed to be dead.
Bridge Forward Delay Specify Bridge Forward Delay, in
seconds. Forwarding delay time is the time spent in each of the
Listening and Learning states before the Forwarding state is
entered. This delay is provided so that when a new bridge comes
onto a busy network, it looks at some traffic before participating.
Priority Specify the Priority number. Smaller numbers have greater priority.
