Configuring the Forwarding-Delay Time

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the forwarding-delay time for all
MST instances. This procedure is optional.

Step 2 spanning-tree mst forward-time seconds
Step 3 end
Step 4 show spanning-tree mst
Step 5 copy running-config startup-config
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no spanning-tree mst forward-time global
configuration command.

Configuring the Maximum-Aging Time

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the maximum-aging time for all
MST instances. This procedure is optional.
Command

Step 2
spanning-tree mst max-age seconds

OL-8915-01
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the forward time for all MST instances. The forward
delay is the number of seconds a port waits before changing from
its spanning-tree learning and listening states to the forwarding
state.
For seconds, the range is 4 to 30; the default is 15.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the maximum-aging time for all MST instances. The
maximum-aging time is the number of seconds a switch waits
without receiving spanning-tree configuration messages before
attempting a reconfiguration.
For seconds, the range is 6 to 40; the default is 20.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify your entries.
