	the default is 2 seconds.

This example shows how to configure the hello time of the switch to 1 second:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# spanning-tree mst hello-time 1

Configuring the Forwarding-Delay Time

You can set the forward delay timer for all MST instances on the switch with one command.

Procedure

Step 1	switch# configure terminal	Enters configuration mode.

Step 2 switch(config)# spanning-tree mst Configures the forward time for all MST instances. The

forward-timesecondsforward delay is the number of seconds that a port waits before changing from its spanning tree blocking and learning states to the forwarding state. For seconds, the range is from 4 to 30, and the default is 15 seconds.

This example shows how to configure the forward-delay time of the switch to 10 seconds:

switch# configure terminal

switch(config)# spanning-tree mst forward-time 10

Configuring the Maximum-Aging Time

The maximum-aging timer is the number of seconds that a switch waits without receiving spanning tree configuration messages before attempting a reconfiguration.

You set the maximum-aging timer for all MST instances on the switch with one command (the maximum age time only applies to the IST).

Procedure
