is sensitive to the status of the link. Ultimately this difference results
in faster detection of failed links, and thus faster topology adjustment.
A draw-back of 802.1d is this absence of immediate feedback from
adjacent bridges.

STP Function: To selecting enable or disable STP function on the
Switch.
Bridge Priority: This value between 0 and 65535 to specify the
priority for forwarding packets. The lower the value, the higher the
priority. The default is 32768.
Bridge Max Age: This value may be set to ensure that old
information does not endlessly circulate through redundant paths in
the network, preventing the effective propagation of the new
information. Set by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in determining
that the Switch has spanning tree configuration values consistent with
other devices on the bridged LAN. If the value ages out and a BPDU
has still not been received from the Root Bridge, the Switch will start
