COMMAND USAGE
This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) a port will wait before
changing states (i.e., discarding 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 the
discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.
EXAMPLE
Console(config)#spanning-tree forward-time 20
Console(config)#
spanning-tree
hello-time
This command configures the spanning tree bridge hello time globally for
this switch. Use the no form to restore the default.
