The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Path Cost Path cost is the cost of transmitting a frame on to a LAN through that port. It is
recommended to assign this value according to the speed of the bridge. The slower the
media, the higher the cost-see Table 42 on page 115 for more information.
Tree Select which STP tree configuration this port should participate in.
Apply Click Apply to save your changes to the Switch’s run-time memory. The Switch loses
these changes if it is turned off or loses power, so use the Save link on the top navigation
panel to save your changes to the non-volatile memory when you are done configuring.
Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.

This ID is the same for Root and Our Bridge if the Switch is the root switch.
Hello Time

message. The root bridge determines Hello Time, Max Age and Forwarding Delay.
