Configuring the Transmit Hold-Count

You can configure the BPDU burst size by changing the transmit hold count value.
Note Changing this parameter to a higher value can have a significant impact on CPU utilization, especially in
Rapid PVST+ mode. Lowering this value can slow down convergence in certain scenarios. We recommend
that you maintain the default setting.
This procedure is optional.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. spanning-tree transmit hold-count value
4. end
Purpose
Enters the global configuration mode.
Configures the maximum-aging time of a VLAN. The maximum-aging
time is the number of seconds a switch waits without receiving
spanning-tree configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration.
• For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified by VLAN
ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a hyphen, or a series
of VLANs separated by a comma. The range is 1 to 4094.
• For seconds, the range is 6 to 40; the default is 20.
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
