9 max-age 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 Protocol Spanning Tree mode Modes 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 See Also hello-time, forward delay 134 Converged Enhanced Ethernet Command Reference 53-1001347-01
