Only if the above-mentioned formulas are equal can the MSTP normally operate on the
entire network. Otherwise, the network may flap frequently. You are recommended to
use the
stp bridge-diameter
command to specify the diameter of the switching
network, so that MSTP can automatically calculate and give the moderate values for
the time parameters.
Note:
Hello time
,
Forward Delay
and
Max Age
affect each other. Modifying any of them will
affect the value of other two parameters.

undo stp timer hello
View
System view
Parameter
centi-senconds
: Specifies Hello Time value with an integer in the range of 100 to 1000
in units of centiseconds. By default, the Hello Time of the switch is 200 centiseconds.
Description
Use the
stp timer hello
command to configure Hello Time of the switch.
Use the
undo stp timer hello
command to restore the default Hello Time.
The STP defines to transmit configuration BPDU regularly at an interval specified with
Hello Time
to keep the spanning tree stable. If the switch receives no
BPDU
packets
for a period of time, it will recalculate the spanning tree upon the BPDU timeouts. The
