Configuring forward delay

Forward delay is the time interval that bridges use to transition root and designated ports to
the forwarding state. When the Secure Router 2330/4134 powers up, or when a device is
connected to a port, the port normally enters the Spanning Tree listening state. When the
forward delay timer expires, the port enters the learning state. When the forward delay timer
expires a second time, the port transitions to the forwarding state.
