117351-B Rev. 00
Parameter: Bridge MAC Address
Default: Defaults to a unique MAC address that the router automatically creates
based on the router’s backplane ID.
Options: Any valid, 48-bit MAC-level address
Function: Combined with the Bridge Priority parameter, assigns a 64-bit bridge ID
to the router. Bridge Priority supplies the most significant 16 bits of the
bridge ID, while this parameter supplies the remaining (least significant)
48 bits.
The spanning tree uses the bridge ID to select the root bridge. In selecting
the root bridge, the spanning tree chooses the bridge with the
lowest-number bridge ID. Thus, the lower the value of Bridge Priority, the
more likely that the router will be selected as the root bridge. In the event
of equal bridge priority values, the Bridge MAC Address value
determines the bridge’s priority.
Instructions: Enter a 48-bit MAC address expressed as a 12-digit hexadecimal value.
You should set this parameter to the MAC address of one of the router’s
spanning tree ports, preferably the one with the lowest priority.
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.1.1.2.1.33
Guidelines
Caution: We recommend that you not change the following three spanning
tree parameters (Max Age, Hello Time, and Forward Delay) unless absolutely
necessary. However, if you do change them, you must follow these guidelines.
Note: If the values for Max Age, Hello Time, and Forward Delay are not the
same for each bridge in your network, the root bridge parameters rule the
entire topology.
2 x (Forward Delay - 1 second) ≥ Max Age
Max Age ≥ 2 x (Hello Time + 1 second)
