Adjusting the Interval between Hello Times
You can specify the interval between hello time. To adjust this interval, enter the following command in Configure
mode:
Defining the Forward Delay Interval
The forward delay interval is the amount of time spent listening for topology change information after an interface has
been activated for bridging and before forwarding actually begins.
To change the default interval setting, enter the following command in Configure mode:
Defining the Maximum Age
If a bridge does not hear BPDUs from the root bridge within a specified interval, it assumes that the network has
changed and recomputes the spanning-tree topology.
To change the default interval setting, enter the following command in Configure mode:
Specify the interval between hello time
for default spanning tree.
stp set bridging hello-time
<num>
Specify the interval between hello times
for a particular instance of spanning tree.
pvst set bridging spanning-tree
<string>
hello-time
<num>
Set the default of the forward delay
interval for default spanning tree.
stp set bridging forward-delay
<num>
Set the default of the forward delay
interval for a particular instance of
spanning tree.
pvst set bridging spanning-tree
<string>
forward-delay
<num>
Change the amount of time a bridge will wait to
hear BPDUs from the root bridge for default
spanning tree.
stp set bridging max-age
<num>
Change the amount of time a bridge will wait to
hear BPDUs from the root bridge for a
particular instance of spanning tree.
pvst set bridging spanning-tree
<string>
max-age
<num>
