dynamic spanning tree configuration information is stored in the device before it
is discarded.

Use the no variant of this command to restore the default of max-age.
spanning-tree max-age <max-age>
Syntax
no spanning-tree max-age
Default The default of spanning-tree max-age is 20 seconds.
Mode Global Configuration
Usage Max-age is the maximum time in seconds for which a message is considered valid.
Configure this value sufficiently high, so that a frame generated by the root bridge
can be propagated to the leaf nodes without exceeding the max-age.
The forward delay, max-age, and hello time parameters should be set according
to the following formula, as specified in IEEE Standard 802.1d:
2 x (forward delay - 1.0 seconds) >= max-age
max-age >= 2 x (hello time + 1.0 seconds)
