Follow these steps to configure the timeout time factor: 

Enter system view 

— 

Configure the timeout time 
factor for the device 

 number 

Required 
The timeout time factor defaults to 3.

 

For a steady network, the timeout time can be five to seven times of the hello time. 

# Configure the timeout time factor to be 6. 

<device> system-view 

[device] stp timer-factor 6 

The maximum transmitting speed of a port specifies the maximum number of configuration BPDUs a 
port can transmit in a period specified by the hello time parameter. It depends on the physical state of 
the port and network structure. You can configure this parameter according to the network. 

Follow these steps to configure the maximum transmitting speed for specified ports in system view: 

Enter system view 

— 

Configure the maximum 
transmitting speed for specified 
ports 

 interface-list 

transmit-limit packetnum

 

Required 
The maximum transmitting 
speed of all Ethernet ports on a 
device defaults to 10. 

 

Follow these steps to configure the maximum transmitting speed in Ethernet port view: 

Enter system view 

— 

Enter Ethernet port view 

 interface-type 

interface-number 

— 

Configure the maximum 
transmitting speed 

 packetnum 

Required 
 The maximum transmitting 
speed of all Ethernet ports on a 
device defaults to 10. 

 

As the maximum transmitting speed parameter determines the number of the configuration BPDUs 
transmitted in each hello time, set it to a proper value to prevent MSTP from occupying too many 
network resources. The default value is recommended.
