switch (i.e., the new root switch) will be valid for the entire network segment. Please re-
member this during component configuration.
Caution
Modifying the protocol timer may result in unstable networks.
Specifying the Timer Values:
˽ Maximum number of active Spanning Tree components along the path beginning at
the root switch (please refer to the following two example illustrations, Figures 6.11
and 6.12): = (MaxAge/2) - Hello Time + 1 second
˽ 2 x Forward Delay - 1 second ≥ MaxAge
˽ MaxAge ≥ 2 × Hello Time + 1 second
The value ((MaxAge/2) - Hello Time) for a ring topology corresponds to the maximum
number of components with active Spanning Tree (see Figure 6.12).
