(config network bridge my_bridge)> stp enable true
b. Set the number of seconds that the device will spend in each of the listening and learning
states before the bridge begins forwarding data:
(config network bridge my_bridge)> stp forward_delay num
(config)>
The default is 2 seconds.
8. (Optional) Enable Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) for faster response to topology
