Chapter 46 Configuring Fallback Bridging
Configuring Fallback Bridging
To return to the default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group hello-time global configuration
command.
This example shows how to change the hello interval to 5 seconds in bridge group 10:
Switch(config)#
bridge 10 hello-time 5
Changing the Forward-Delay Interval
The forward-delay interval is the amount of time spent listening for topology change information after
a port has been activated for switching and before forwarding actually begins.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to change the forward-delay interval. This
procedure is optional.
To return to the default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group forward-time global configuration
command.
This example shows how to change the forward-delay interval to 10 seconds in bridge group 10:
Switch(config)#
bridge 10 forward-time 10
Changing the Maximum-Idle Interval
If a switch does not receive BPDUs from the root switch within a specified interval, it recomputes the
spanning-tree topology.
