9 max-age

max-age

Sets the interval time in seconds between messages that the spanning tree receives from the interface.

Synopsis

max-age seconds

 

 

no max-age

 

Operands

seconds

Configures the Spanning tree Protocol interface maximum-age. The range of

 

 

valid values is 6-40.

Defaults

The default is 20 seconds.

Command

Protocol Spanning Tree mode

Modes

 

 

Description

Use this command to control the maximum length of time that passes before an interface saves its

 

configuration Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) information. Use the no max-agecommand to

 

return to the default configuration.

Usage

When configuring the maximum age, the max-agesetting must be greater than the hello-time

Guidelines

setting. The following relationship should be kept:

 

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

Examples

To configure the maximum-age to 10 seconds:

 

switch(conf-rstp)#max-age 10
