Usage Guidelines
After you set the spanning-tree mst max-age seconds global configuration command, if a switch does
not receive BPDUs from the root switch within the specified interval, the switch recomputes the
spanning-tree topology. The max-age setting must be greater than the hello-time setting.
not receive BPDUs from the root switch within the specified interval, the switch recomputes the
spanning-tree topology. The max-age setting must be greater than the hello-time setting.
Changing the spanning-tree mst hello-time command affects all spanning-tree instances.
Examples
This example shows how to set the spanning-tree hello time to 3 seconds for all multiple spanning-tree
(MST) instances:
(MST) instances:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst hello-time 3
You can verify your setting by entering the show spanning-tree mst privileged EXEC command.
