Max. Age: 
If the GSM Series switch is the root bridge, the whole network will apply this 
figure as their maximum age time. When a switch receives a BPDU message 
originating from the root bridge and if the message age exceeds the maximum 
age of the bridge, the bridge will treat the root bridge as malfunctioned and issue 
a Topology Change Notification (TCN) BPDU to all other bridges. All bridges on 
the network will re-calculate and determine who the root bridge is. The valid 
value is 6 – 40 seconds. 
Default: 20 seconds 
 Forward 
delay: 
You can set the root bridge forward delay time. This figure is set by the root 
bridge only. The forward delay time is defined as the time spent changing from 
the Listening state to the Learning state and also from the Learning state to the 
Forwarding state of a port in a bridge. The forward delay time contains two 
states, Listening state to Learning state and Learning state to Forwarding state. It 
assumes that the forward delay time is 15 seconds, then the total forward delay 
time will be 30 seconds. This has much to do with the STP convergence time 
which will be more than 30 seconds because of some other factors. The valid 
value is 4 ~ 30 seconds 
Default: 15 seconds. 
Force Version: 
The switch supports both STP (802.1d) and RSTP (802.1w). This option can be 
selected here.
