Configuring STP
This example shows how to configure the forward delay time for VLAN 200 to 21 seconds:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# spanning-tree vlan 200 forward-time 21
Router(config)# end
Router#
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Router# show spanning-tree vlan 200 bridge
Hello Max Fwd

Configuring the Maximum Aging Time for a VLAN
To configure the STP maximum aging time for a VLAN, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure the maximum aging time for VLAN 200 to 36 seconds:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# spanning-tree vlan 200 max-age 36
Router(config)# end
Router#
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Router# show spanning-tree vlan 200 bridge

Enabling Rapid-PVST
Rapid-PVST uses the existing PVST+ framework for configuration and interaction with other features. It also
supports some of the PVST+ extensions.
To enable Rapid-PVST mode on the switch, enter the spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst command in
privileged mode. To configure the switch in Rapid-PVST mode, see the “Configuring STP” section on
page 15-22.
Command Purpose
Step 1 Router(config)# spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID
max-age max_age
Configures the maximum aging time of a VLAN. The
max_age value can be from 6 to 40 seconds. The vlan_ID
value can be 1 through 4094, except reserved VLANs (see
Table 9-1 on page 9-2).
Router(config)# no spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID
max-age
Reverts to the default maximum aging time.
Step 2 Router(config)# end Exits configuration mode.
Step 3 Router# show spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID bridge
[detail]
Verifies the configuration.
