U

SAGE

This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will

wait before changing states (i.e., discarding 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

the discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.
