Parameters
vlan vlan-id-list: Specifies a space-separated list of up to 10 VLAN items. Each item specifies a
VLAN or a range of VLANs in the form of vlan-id1 [ to vlan-id2 ]. The value for vlan-id2 must be equal
to or greater than the value for vlan-id1. The value range for the vlan-id argument is 1 to 4094. If you
set the STP, RSTP, or MSTP forward delay, do not specify this option.
time: Sets the forward delay in centiseconds, in the range of 400 to 3000 in increments of 100 (as in
400, 500, 600).
Usage guidelines
The forward delay timer determines the time interval of state transition. To prevent temporary loops,
a spanning tree port goes through the learning (intermediate) state before it transits from the
discarding state to the forwarding state. To stay synchronized with the remote device, the port has a
wait period between transition states that is determined by the forward delay timer.
As a best practice, do not set the forward delay with this command. Instead, you can specify the
network diameter of the switched network by using the stp bridge-diameter command. This
command makes the spanning tree protocols automatically calculate the optimal settings for the
forward delay timer. If the network diameter uses the default value, the forward delay timer also uses
the default value.
Examples
# In MSTP mode, set the forward delay timer to 2000 centiseconds.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp timer forward-delay 2000
# In PVST mode, set the forward delay timer for VLAN 2 to 2000 centiseconds.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp vlan 2 timer forward-delay 2000
