Set Spanning Tree Protocol Status 
STP Priority 
This value can determine if the IP-DSLAM will be root switch among all 
known switches. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) 
becomes the Spanning Tree root switch. MAC address (the lowest numeric 
value) is used to decide root switch if priority is the same.   
Valid values: 0 ~ 61440 in steps of 4096 
The time elapsed since the root node of the Spanning Tree has changed. The 
change of the root node will cause the Spanning Tree to reconfigure.   
Time Since Top Changed 
Top Changed 
The count which the root node has changed in the existing Spanning Tree.   
Designated Root 
The root of current Spanning Tree indicating by its MAC address.     
The cost configured in the DSLAM contributing to the path cost leading to the 
root  
Root Cost 
The port number of the port which offers the lowest cost path from this bridge 
to the root bridge. 
Root Port 
The maximum age of Spanning Tree Protocol information learned from the 
network on any port before it is discarded, in units of seconds, when this bridge 
is the root of the spanning tree.   
Max Age 
The value that all bridges use for HelloTime when this bridge is acting as the 
root. 
Hello Time 
The value that all bridges use for Forward Delay when this bridge is acting as 
the root. 
Forward Delay 
This time value determines the interval length during which no more than two 
Configuration bridge PDUs shall be transmitted by this node, in units of 
seconds. 
Hold Time 
Bridge Max Age 
The maximum age time of Spanning Tree Protocol information learned from the 
network on any port before it is discarded, in units of seconds.   
Valid values: 6 ~ 40 (Seconds) 
Bridge Hello Time 
The amount of time between the transmission of Configuration BPDU (Bridge 
Protocol Data Units) by this node on any port when it is the root of the spanning 
tree or trying to become so, in units of second.   
Valid values: 1 ~ 30 (Seconds) 
Bridge Forward Delay 
This value, measured in units of seconds, controls how fast a port changes its 
spanning state when moving towards the Forwarding state. The value 
determines how long the port stays in each of the Listening and Learning states, 
which precede the Forwarding state. This value is also used, when a topology 
change has been detected and is underway, to age all dynamic entries in the 
Forwarding Database. 
Valid values: 4 ~ 30 (Seconds)
