Chapter 6 – Configuring Rapid Spanning Tree 
Hello Time 
This is the time between configuration messages issued by the root bridge.  
Shorter hello times may result in faster detection of topology changes at the 
expense of moderate increases in STP traffic. 
Max Age Time 
The time a configuration message remains valid after being issued by the root 
bridge.  Configure this parameter with care when many tiers of bridges exist, or 
slow speed links (such as those used in WANs) are part of the network 
Transmit Count 
The maximum number of configuration messages on each port that may be sent in 
a special event (such as recovering from a failure or bringing up a new link).  After 
the maximum number of messages is reached, STP will be limited to 1 message per 
second.  Larger values allow the network to recover from failed links more quickly.  
If RSTP is being used in a ring architecture the transmit count should be larger 
than the number of switches in the ring.  Specifying a large value for the transmit 
count renders RSTP recovery more robust in the presence of multiple link failures 
that occur in a short window of time. 
Forward Delay 
The amount of time the bridge spends learning MAC addresses on a rising port 
before beginning to forward traffic.  Lower values allow the port to reach the 
forwarding state more quickly, but at the expense of flooding unlearned addresses 
to all ports. 
Cost Style 
This parameter selects the style of link costs to employ.  STP uses 16-bit path 
costs based upon 1x10E9/link speed (19 for 100 Mbps and 100 for 10 Mbps) 
whereas RSTP uses 32 bit costs based upon 2x10E13/link speed (200,000 for 100 
Mbps and 2,000,000 for 10 Mbps).  Note that RSTP link costs are used only when 
the bridge version support is set to allow RSTP and the port does not migrate to 
STP.
