hello-time

 

 

hello-time

 

 

 

 

Sets the interval between the hello Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) sent on an interface.

 

Synopsis

hello-time seconds

 

 

 

no hello-time

 

 

Operands

seconds

Specifies the time range in seconds for the interval between the hello BPDUs

 

 

 

sent on an interface. The range of valid values is 1-10.

 

Defaults

The default is 2 seconds.

 

Command

Protocol Spanning Tree mode

 

Modes

 

 

 

Description

Use this command to configure the spanning-tree bridge hello time, which determines how often

 

 

the device broadcasts hello messages to other devices. Use the no hello-timecommand to return

 

 

to the default settings.

 

Usage

When configuring the hello-time, the max-agesetting must be greater than the hello-timesetting.

 

Guidelines

The following relationship should be kept:

 

 

2*(forward-delay - 1)>=max-age>=2*(hello-time + 1)

 

Examples

To configure spanning-tree bridge hello time to 5 seconds:

 

 

switch(conf-stp)#hello-time 5
