SET SPANTREE HELLO_TIME
Use the SET SPANTREE HELLO_TIME command to change how often the local bridge sends out a hello packet when it becomes the Root Bridge.
This value will take effect for the overall network when this bridge becomes the Root Bridge.
Format
SET SPANTREE HELLO_TIME {variable}
Parameters
{variable} = 1 - 10 (default is 2 seconds)
See Note for range restrictions.
Example
OEBM> set spantree hello_time 7 [ENTER]

Description
The SET SPANTREE HELLO_TIME command enables you to change how often the local bridge sends out a hello packet when it becomes the Root Bridge. This packet is sent to all other Ethernet Bridges to let them know the root is still active.
As a reminder, this parameter at the local Bridge Module has no effect on the operation of the network until the local bridge becomes the Root Bridge. While the local bridge is a
If you choose to modify the spantree parameter default values for forward_delay_time, hello_time, or listen_time, you must use the following two formulas to calculate new values:
1.2 * (forward_delay_time - 1.0 seconds) > listen_time
