standalone switch to set the interval between hello bridge protocol data units (BPDUs) sent by root
switch configuration messages. Use the no form of this command to return to the default setting.

Syntax Description
Defaults The default is 2 seconds.
Command Modes Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines After you set the spanning-tree mst max-age seconds global configuration command, if a switch does
not receive BPDUs from the root switch within the specified interval, the switch recomputes the
spanning-tree topology. The max-age setting must be greater than the hello-time setting.
Changing the spanning-tree mst hello-time command affects all spanning-tree instances.
Examples This example shows how to set the spanning-tree hello time to 3 seconds for all multiple spanning-tree
(MST) instances:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst hello-time 3
You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree mst privileged EXEC command.
