Forwarding Delay When you select “Forwarding delay,” the following screen appears:
Forwarding delay is the amount of time that controls how fast a port stays in
each of the Listening and Learning states. This value is also used to age out
all dynamic entries in the database when a topology change has been detected
and is underway.
In short, Forwarding delay is the parameter value when the bridge is either
the Root or is attempting to become the Root. This parameter may be
updated by management action.
