Spanning-Tree Hello-Time - SMC Networks 6824MPE INT Management Manual

C L
OMMAND INE
Command Usage
This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will
wait before changing states (i.e., discarding 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.
Example
Console(config)#spanning-tree forward-time 20
Console(config)#

spanning-tree hello-time

Use this command to configure the spanning tree bridge hello time globally
for this switch. Use the no form to restore the default.
