Use this command to set the bridge maximum aging time. This is the maximum time (in seconds)
a device can wait without receiving a configuration message (bridge “hello”) before attempting to
reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should receive c onfiguration messages
at regular intervals. Any port that ages out STP information provided in the last configuration
message becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port, a new root port is
selected from among the device ports attached to the network.
