maxage

Description
Use this command to set the maximum age parameter. This parameter
determines how long bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) are stored by the
switch before they are deleted.
The forward time, max-age and hello time parameters should be set
according to the following formulas, as specified in IEEE Standard 802.1d:
max-age <= 2 x (forward time - 1.0 second)
max-age => 2 x (hello time + 1.0 second)
Use the no form of this command, NO SPANNING-TREE MAX-AGE, to
set the command to its default value of 20 seconds.
Confirmation Command
“SHOW SPANNING-TREE” on page 784
