Description
Use this command to set the hello time parameter on the switch. This

configuration information when it is the root bridge or is trying to become
the root bridge.
The forward time, max-age and hello time parameters should be set
according to the following formulas, as specified in IEEE Standard 802.1d:
max-age <= 2 x (forward time - 1.0 second)
max-age >= 2 x (hello time + 1.0 second)
To view the current setting for this parameter, refer to “SHOW
SPANNING-TREE” on page 498.
Confirmation Command
“SHOW SPANNING-TREE” on page 498
Example
This example sets the hello time parameter on the switch to 7 seconds:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# spanning-tree hello-time 7
