Bridge Hello-Time; Bridge Max-Age - Avaya 2330 Reference Manual

MSTP commands

bridge hello-time

The AG2330 transmits a BPDU at every hello time.
The hello time is the time, in seconds, after which (if the bridge is the root bridge) all the bridges
in a bridged LAN exchange BPDUs. A very low hello time value results in excessive traffic on
the network, while a higher value delays the detection of topology change.
Use this command to configure the bridge hello time.
Syntax
[no] hello-time <time value>
