STP Timers

Table10-2 describe s the STP time rs that affect the entire spa nning-t ree per formanc e.

Creating the STP Topology

In Figure 10-1, Switch A is elected as the root switch because the switch priority of all the switches is

set to the default (32768) and Switch A has the lowest MAC address. However, because of traffic

patterns, number of forwarding interfaces, or link types, Switch A might not be the ideal root switch. By

increasing the priority (lowering the numerical value) of the ideal switch so that it becomes the root

switch, you force an STP recalculation to form a new topology w ith th e i deal sw itch as the ro ot.

Figure10-1 STP Topology

When the spanning-tree topology is calculated based on default pa rameters, the path between source and

destination end stations in a switched network might not be ideal. For inst ance, connecting higher-speed

links to an interface that has a higher number than the current root port can cause a root-port change.

The goal is to make the fastest link the root port.

For example, assume that one port on Switch B is a Gigabit Ethernet link, and that another port on

Switch B (a 10/100 link) is the root port. Network traffic might be more efficient over the Gigabit

Ethernet link. By changing the STP port priority on the Gigabit Ethernet interface to a higher priori ty

(lower numerical value) than the root port, the Gigabit Ethernet interface becomes the new root port.

Table10-2 Spanning Tree Protocol Time rs

Variable Description

Hello timer Determines how often the switch broadcasts hello messages to other switches.

Forward-delay timer Determines how long each of the listening and learning states last before the interface be gins

forwarding.

Maximum-age timer Determines the amount of time the switch stores protocol information received on an interface.
