Configuring the Forwarding-Delay Time for a Bridge Group
Configuring the Forwarding-Delay Time for a Bridge Group
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the forwarding-delay time for a
bridge group:
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group-number forward-time seconds
command.
Configuring the Maximum-Aging Time for a Bridge Group
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the maximum-aging time for a
bridge group:
To return the switch to its default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group-number max-age seconds
command.
Verifying and Monitoring STP and RSTP Status
To display the STP or RSTP status, use one or more of the privileged EXEC commands in Table 6-6:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)# bridge
bridge-group-number
forward-time seconds
Configures the forward time of a VLAN. The forward delay is the
number of seconds a port waits before changing from its
spanning-tree learning and listening states to the forwarding state.
For seconds, the range is 4 to 200; the default is 15.
Step 3
Router(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Router(config)# bridge
bridge-group-number max-age
seconds
Configures the maximum-aging time of a bridge group. The
maximum-aging time is the number of seconds a switch waits
without receiving spanning-tree configuration messages before
attempting a reconfiguration.
For seconds, the range is 6 to 200; the default is 20.
Step 3
Router(config)# end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Ta b l e 6 - 6 C o m m a n d s f o r D i s p l a ying Spanning-Tree Status
Command Purpose
Router# show spanning-tree active
Displays STP or RSTP information on active interfaces only.
Router# show spanning-tree detail
Displays a detailed summary of interface information.
