Forward Delay

Forward delay is a time value which controls how fast a port changes its state.

The value determines how long the port stays in each of the listening and

learning states which precede the forward state. This value is also used to age all

dynamic entries in the forwarding databases when a topology change has been

detected and is underway.

Note: Max Age <= 2*(Forward Delay-1)

Max Hops

Specifies the number of hops in a region before the BPDU is discarded and the

information held for a port is aged.
