To change these parameters, use the following commands.
• Change the forward-delay parameter.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
forward-delay seconds
The range is from 4 to 30.
The default is 15 seconds.
• Change the hello-time parameter.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
hello-time seconds
NOTE
: With large congurations (especially those congurations with more ports) Dell EMC Networking recommends
increasing the hello-time.
The range is from 1 to 10.
The default is 2 seconds.
• Change the max-age parameter.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
max-age seconds
The range is from 6 to 40.
The default is 20 seconds.
To view the current values for global parameters, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode.
