8. Enter the maximum aging time, in seconds. Then press Enter. The value you typed appears next to
Max Age (sec).
9. Use the Down Arrow key to highlight Forward Delay and press Enter. The Enter Forward Delay
screen appears. This is the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing
states (that is, listening 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 a blocking state;
otherwise, temporary data loops might result. Default is 15. The maximum value is 30. The
minimum value is the higher of 4 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1].
