The Configuration Menu 43W7774, May 2007
When configuring STG bridge parameters, the following formulas must be used:
2*(fwd-1) >
mxage
2*(hello+1) <
mxage
fwd <new bridge Forward Delay (4-30 secs)>
Configures the bridge forward delay parameter. The forward delay parameter specifies the amount
of time that a bridge port has to wait before it changes from the listening state to the learning state
and from the learning state to the forwarding state. The range is 4 to 30 seconds, and the default is
15 seconds.
This command does not apply to MSTP (see CIST on page 223).
aging <new bridge Aging Time (1-65535 secs, 0 to disable)>
Configures the forwarding database aging time. The aging time specifies the amount of time the
bridge waits without receiving a packet from a station before removing the station from the for-
warding database. The range is 1 to 65535 seconds, and the default is 300 seconds. To disable
aging, set this parameter to 0.
