D-Series CLI Reference 6-19
set spantree maxage
Use this command to set the bridge maximum aging time.
Syntax
set spantree maxage agingtime
Parameters
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read‐write.
Usage
The bridge maximum aging time is the maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without
receiving a configuration message (bridge “hello”) before attempting to reconfigure. All device
ports (except for designated ports) should receive configuration messages at regular intervals.
Any port that ages out STP information provided in the last configuration message becomes the
designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among
the device ports attached to the network.
Example
This example shows how to set the maximum aging time to 25 seconds:
D2(su)->set spantree maxage 25
clear spantree maxage
Use this command to reset the maximum aging time for a Spanning Tree to the default value of 20
seconds.
Syntax
clear spantree maxage
Parameters
None.
Defaults
None.
Mode
Switch command, read‐write.
agingtime Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the system retains the
information received from other bridges through STP. Valid values are 6 ‐
40.
