Parameter
centiseconds:
 Specifies the maximum age in centiseconds, ranging from 600 to 
4000. By default, the value is 2000 centiseconds. 
Description
Use the 
stp timer max-age
 command to configure the Max Age of the Switch. 
Use the 
undo stp timer max-age
 command to restore the default Max Age. 
Maximum age is used for judging if an RSTP packet is outdated. If the value is set 
too small, the spanning tree will be computed too frequently because the network 
congestion may be considered as a link failure. However, if the value is set too 
large, the link failure may not be discovered in time. Maximum age is related to 
the network “diameter”, or complexity of the switched network. The default 
value, 2000, is recommended.
