Parameter | Default | Description |
Max (Message) Age 20 | Themaximumtime(in seconds) adevice can | |
|
| wait without receiving a configuration |
|
| message before attempting to reconfigure. |
|
| Alldeviceports(exceptfordesignatedports) |
|
| should receive configuration messages at |
|
| regular intervals. Any port that ages out STA |
|
| 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. |
|
| The minimum value is the higher of |
|
| 6 or [2 x (Hello Time + 1)]. |
|
| The maximum value is the lower of |
|
| 40 or [2 x (Forward Delay - 1)]. |
Forward Delay | 15 | 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.
Maximum value is 30.
Minimum value is the higher of 4 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) + 1].
