To change these parameters, use the following commands.
● Change the forward-delay parameter.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
forward-delay seconds
The range is from 4 to 30.
The default is 15 seconds.
● Change the hello-time parameter.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
hello-time seconds
NOTE:
With large configurations (especially those configurations with more ports) Dell EMC Networking recommends
increasing the hello-time.
The range is from 1 to 10.
The default is 2 seconds.
● Change the max-age parameter.
PROTOCOL SPANNING TREE RSTP mode
max-age seconds
The range is from 6 to 40.
The default is 20 seconds.
To view the current values for global parameters, use the show spanning-tree rstp command from EXEC privilege mode.
Enabling SNMP Traps for Root Elections and Topology Changes
To enable SNMP traps, use the following command.
● Enable SNMP traps for RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ collectively.
