Enterasys Networks 9034313-07 manual Clear spantree maxage, Set spantree fwddelay

clear spantree maxage

clear spantree maxage

Use this command to reset the maximum aging time for a Spanning Tree to the default value of 20 seconds.

Syntax

clear spantree maxage

Parameters

None.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Example

This example shows how to globally reset the maximum aging time:

C3(su)->clear spantree maxage

set spantree fwddelay

Use this command to set the Spanning Tree forward delay.

Syntax

set spantree fwddelay delay

Parameters

delay	Specifies the number of seconds for the bridge forward delay. Valid values
	are 4 ‐ 30.

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Usage

The forward delay is the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing states (i.e., listening to learning to forwarding). This delay is required because every device must receive information about topology changes before it starts to forward frames. In addition, each port needs time to listen for conflicting information that would make it return to a blocking state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result.

Example

This example shows how to globally set the bridge forward delay to 16 seconds:
