4.2.4.6 Reconfiguration times
The reconfiguration time for a Rapid Spanning Tree depends on the timer values for
MaxAge and Forward Delay.
The minimum reconfiguration time is:
2 × Forward Delay
The maximum reconfiguration time is:
2 × Forward Delay + MaxAge
For the values recommended by the IEEE standard, the value for ten active STP switches
along a path beginning with the root switch is between 30 s and 50 s.
