The default setting is disabled.

associated STPD. The default setting is enabled.

config stpd add vlan

Adds a VLAN to the STPD.

config stpd hellotime

the transmission of BPDUs from this STPD when
it is the Root Bridge.

The range is 1 through 10. The default setting is
2 seconds.

this STPD spend in the listening and learning
states when the switch is the Root Bridge.

The range is 4 through 30. The default setting is
15 seconds.

config stpd maxage

Specifies the maximum age of a BPDU in this
STPD.

The range is 6 through 40. The default setting is

Note that the time must be greater than, or equal
to 2 X (Hello Time + 1) and less than, or equal to
2 X (Forward Delay –1).

config stpd priority

Specifies the priority of the STPD. By changing
the priority of the STPD, you can make it more or
