occurred, and it begins recalculating the spanning tree. The default setting for Maximum Age is

15 seconds.

Forward Delay

After a recalculation of the spanning tree, the Forward Delay parameter regulates the delay before each port begins transmitting traffic. If a port begins forwarding traffic too soon (before a new root bridge has been selected), the network can be adversely affected. The default value for Forward Delay is 5 seconds.

Note: The above parameters (Hello Time, Maximum Age and Forward Delay) are constrained by the following formula:

(Hello Time + 1) <= Maximum Age <= 2 x (Forward Delay – 1)

In general, reducing the values of these timers will make the spanning tree react faster when the topology changes, but may cause temporary loops as the tree stabilizes in its new configuration. Increasing the values of these timers will make the tree react more slowly to changes in topology, but will make an unintended reconfiguration less likely. All of the bridges on the network will use the values set by the root bridge. It is only necessary to reconfigure that bridge if you wish to change the parameters.
