5.2.1.7 set spantree maxage
Use this command to set the bridge maximum aging time. This 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:
agingtime Specifies the maximum number of seconds that the system
retains the information received from other bridges through
STP. The minimum value is the higher of 6 or
[2 x (Hello Time + 1)]. The maximum value is the lower of
40 or [2 x (Forward Delay - 1)].
