To avoid frequent network flapping, the values of Hello Time, Forward Delay and 
Maximum Age should guarantee the following formulas equal. 
2 * (forward-delay - 1seconds) >= maximum-age 
maximum-age >= 2 * (hello + 1.0 seconds) 
You are recommended to use the stp root primary command to specify the network 
diameter and Hello Time of the switching network, thus MSTP will automatically 
calculate and give the rather desirable values.  
By default, Forward Delay is 15 seconds, Hello Time is 2 seconds, and Max Age is 20 
seconds.  
2.2.8  Configure the Max Transmission Speed on a Port 
The max transmission speed on a port specifies how many MSTP packets will be 
transmitted every Hello Time via the port.  
The max transmission speed on a port is limited by the physical state of the port and the 
network structure. You can configure it according the network conditions. 
You can configure the max transmission speed on a port in the following ways.  
I. Configure in system view 
Perform the following configuration in system view.
