## Property Details

### The `“ageing-time”` property

      “ageing-time”              guint

The Ethernet MAC address aging time, in seconds.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 1000000

Default value: 300

### The `“forward-delay”` property

      “forward-delay”            guint

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) forwarding delay, in seconds.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 30

Default value: 15

### The `“hello-time”` property

      “hello-time”               guint

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) hello time, in seconds.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 10

Default value: 2

### The `“mac-address”` property

      “mac-address”              gchar *

If specified, the MAC address of bridge. When creating a new bridge, this MAC address will be set. When matching an existing (outside NetworkManager created) bridge, this MAC address must match.

Flags: Read / Write

Default value: NULL

### The `“max-age”` property

      “max-age”                  guint

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) maximum message age, in seconds.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 40

Default value: 20

### The `“multicast-snooping”` property

      “multicast-snooping”       gboolean

Controls whether IGMP snooping is enabled for this bridge. Note that if snooping was automatically disabled due to hash collisions, the system may refuse to enable the feature until the collisions are resolved.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: TRUE

Since: 1.2

### The `“priority”` property

      “priority”                 guint

Sets the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) priority for this bridge. Lower values are "better"; the lowest priority bridge will be elected the root bridge.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 65535

Default value: 32768

### The `“stp”` property

      “stp”                      gboolean

Controls whether Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is enabled for this bridge.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Default value: TRUE
