Parameter
number
: Specifies the timeout time, which must be a multiple of hello time, ranging from
1 to 10. By default, the timeout time is three times of the hello time.
Description
Using
stp timer-factor
command, you can configure multiple of hello time for the
switch. Using
undo stp timer-factor
command, you can restore the default multiple
value.
By default, the multiple is 3.
The Ethernet switch transmits STP packets every hello time. Generally, if the switch
doesn’t receive the STP packets from the upstream switch for 3 times of hello time, the
switch will decide the upstream switch is dead and will recalculate the topology of the
network. Then in steady network, the recalculation may be caused when the upstream
is busy. In this case, user can redefine the timeout interval to a longer time by define the
multiple of hello time. The
stp timer-factor
command can be used to modify the value
of multiple. It is recommended to set 5, 6 or 7 as the value of multiple in the steady
network.
Example
# Set the multiple value of hello time to 7.
