Chapter 8 Configuring Spanning Tree
Configuring Spanning Tree Timers
To configure the spanning tree bridge hello time for a VLAN or an MISTP instance, perform this task
in privileged mode:
This example shows how to configure the spanning tree hello time for VLAN 100 to 7 seconds:
Console> (enable)
set spantree hello 7 100
Spantree 100 hello time set to 7 seconds.
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to configure the spanning tree hello time for an instance to 3 seconds:
Console> (enable)
set spantree hello 3 mistp-instance 1
Spantree 1 hello time set to 3 seconds.
Console> (enable)
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 of
delay
is 4 to 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 of
agingtime
is 6 to 40 seconds.
