max-age

DRAFT: BROCADE CONFIDENTIAL
max-age
Sets the interval time in seconds between messages that the spanning tree receives from the
interface.
Synopsis
max-age
seconds
no max-age
Operands
seconds
Configures the
Spanning tree Protocol interface maximum-age. The range of
valid values
is 6-40.
Defaults
The default is 20 seconds.
Command
Modes
Protocol Spanning Tree mode
Description
Use this command to control the maximum length of time that passes before an interface saves its
configuration Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) information. Use the
no max-age
command to
return to the default configuration.
Usage
Guidelines
When configuring the maximum age, the
max-age
setting must be greater than the
hello-time
setting. The following relationship should be kept:
2*(forward-delay - 1)>=max-age>=2*(hello-time + 1)
Examples
To configure the maximum-age to 10 seconds:
switch(conf-rstp)#
max-age 10
