Using the Command Line Interface Default Setting 15 seconds Command Mode Global Configuration Command Usage This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) the root device will wait before changing states (i.e., discarding 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 the discarding state; otherwise, temporary data loops might result. Example Enterprise AP(config)#bridge stp forwarding-delay 20 Enterprise AP(config)# bridge stp hello-time Use this command to configure the spanning tree bridge hello time globally for the wireless bridge. Use the no form to restore the default. Syntax bridge stp hello-time no bridge stp hello-time time - Time in seconds. (Range: 1-10 seconds). The maximum value is the lower of 10 or [(max-age / 2) -1]. Default Setting 2 seconds Command Mode Global Configuration Command Usage This command sets the time interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a configuration message. Example Enterprise AP(config)#bridge stp hello-time 5 Enterprise AP(config)# 5-93
