set spantree fwddelay
8-20 Spanning Tree Configuration
Parameters
None.
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read‐write.
Example
This example shows how to globally reset the maximum aging time:
D2(su)->clear spantree maxage
set spantree fwddelay
Use this command to set the Spanning Tree forward delay.
Syntax
set spantree fwddelay delay
Parameters
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read‐write.
Usage
The forward delay is the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing
states (i.e., listening 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 a blocking state;
otherwise, temporary data loops might result.
Example
This example shows how to globally set the bridge forward delay to 16 seconds:
D2(su)->set spantree fwddelay 16
delay Specifies the number of seconds for the bridge forward delay. Valid values
are 4 ‐ 30.
