Spanning Tree Configuration Command Set
Reviewing and Setting Spanning Tree Bridge Parameters
6-26 Matrix E1 Series (1G58x-09 and 1H582-xx) Configuration Guide
Example
This example shows how to reset the bridge maximum aging time:
6.2.1.25 set spantree fwddelay
Use this command to set the Spanning Tree forward delay. This is the maximum time (in seconds)
the root device will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding). This
delay is required because every device must receive information about topology changes before it
starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that
would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.
set spantree fwddelay delay

Command Defaults
None.
