Chapter 7 Configuring Spanning Tree
Configuring Spanning Tree Timers
Configuring the Forward Delay Time
Enter the set spantree fwddelay command to configure the spanning tree forward delay time for a
VLAN. The possible range for delay is from 4–30 seconds.
To configure the spanning tree forward delay time for a VLAN, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure the spanning tree forward delay time for VLAN 100 to 21 seconds:
Console> (enable) set spantree fwddelay 21 100
Spantree 100 forward delay set to 21 seconds.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to set the bridge forward delay for an instance to 16 seconds:
Console> (enable) set spantree fwddelay 16 mistp-instance 1
Instance 1 forward delay set to 16 seconds.
Console> (enable)
Configuring the Maximum Aging Time
Enter the set spantree maxage command to change the spanning tree maximum aging time for a VLAN
or an instance. The possible range for agingtime is from 6–40 seconds.
To configure the spanning tree maximum aging time for a VLAN or an instance, perform this task in
privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure the spanning tree maximum aging time for VLAN 100 to
36 seconds:
Console> (enable) set spantree maxage 36 100
Spantree 100 max aging time set to 36 seconds.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to set the maximum aging time for an instance to 25 seconds:
Console> (enable) set spantree maxage 25 mistp-instance 1
Instance 1 max aging time set to 25 seconds.
Console> (enable)
