undo stp timer forward-delay
View
System View
Parameter
centiseconds:
 Specifies the time of forward delay in centiseconds, ranging from 
400 to 3000. By default, the value is 1500 centiseconds. 
Description
Use the 
stp timer forward-delay
 command to configure the time of forward 
delay for the Switch. 
Use the 
undo stp timer forward-delay
 command to restore the default 
forward delay time. 
The value of forward delay is related to the “diameter” of the switching network. 
The more extensive the switching network is, the longer the forward delay should 
be set. You can use this command to modify the value of forward delay. The 
default value, 1500, is recommended.

Example
To set the forward delay of the device to 2000 centiseconds, enter the following:
<4500>system-view
System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.
[4500]stp timer forward-delay 2000
stp timer hello
Syntax
stp timer hello centiseconds
undo stp timer hello
View
System View
Parameter
centiseconds:
 Specifies the value of hello time in centiseconds, ranging from 
100 to 1000. By default, the value is 200 centiseconds. 
Description
Use the 
stp timer hello
 command to configure hello time of the Switch. 
Use the 
undo stp timer hello
 command to restore the default hello time. 
The Ethernet Switch transmits RSTP packets every hello time seconds. A longer 
hello time can ease the CPU load of the Switch, but it will also affect the 
performances of RSTP in how rapidly it responds to changes. The 
stp timer 
hello
 command can be used to modify the value of hello time. The default value 
is recommended.
