Configuration example
1
Configure the Forward delay parameter to be 1,600 centiseconds, the Hello time
parameter to be 300 centiseconds, and the Max age parameter to be 2,100
centiseconds (assuming that the current switch operates as the CIST root bridge).

Timeout Time Factor
Configuration
A switch regularly sends protocol packets to its neighboring devices at the interval
specified by the Hello time parameter to test the links. Normally, a switch regards its
upstream switch faulty if the former does not receive any protocol packets from the
latter in a period three times of the Hello time and then initiates the spanning tree
regeneration process.
Spanning trees may be regenerated even in a steady network if an upstream switch
continues to be busy. You can configure the timeout time factor to a larger number to
avoid this. Normally, the timeout time can be four or more times of the Hello time. For
a steady network, the timeout time can be five to seven times of the Hello time.

Maximum Transmitting
Speed Configuration
The maximum transmitting speed of a port specifies the maximum number of
configuration BPDUs a port can transmit in a period specified by the Hello time
parameter. It depends on the physical state of the port and network structure. You
can configure this parameter according to the network.
