Command Usage
This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait
before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding). This delay is
required because every device must receive information about topology
changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to
listen for conflicting information that would make it return to a blocking state;
otherwise, temporary data loops might result.
Example
Console(config)#bridge 1 forward-time 20
Console(config)#
192
