ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1184
configure stpd maxage
configure stpd <stpd_name> maxage <seconds>
Description
Specifies the maximum age of a BPDU in the specified STPD.
Syntax Description
Default
The default maximum age of a BPDU is 20 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN, Extreme Networks
recommends that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name
unique only to that STPD, the keyword
stpd
is optional.
You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience
with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
In an MSTP environment, configure the maximum age of a BPDU only on the CIST, not on the MSTIs.
The range for the
<seconds>
parameter is 6 through 40 seconds.
Note that the time must be greater than, or equal to 2 * (Hello Time + 1) and less than, or equal to 2 *
(Forward Delay –1).
Example
The following command sets the maximum age of
STPD1
to 30 seconds:
configure stpd stpd1 maxage 30
