Download EPUBconfigure stpd hellotime
Description
Specifies the time delay (in seconds) between the transmission of BPDUs from this STPD (Spanning Tree Domain) when it is the root bridge.
Syntax Description
| stpd_name | Specifies an STPD name on the switch. |
| seconds | Specifies the hello time in seconds. The default is 2 seconds, and the range is 1 to 10 seconds. |
Default
The default hello time is 2 seconds.
Usage Guidelines
If your STPD has the same name as another component, for example a VLAN (Virtual LAN), we recommend that you specify the identifying keyword as well as the name. If your STPD has a name unique only to that STPD, the keyword stpd is optional.
In an MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) environment, configure the hello timer only on the CIST, not on the MSTIs.
You should not configure any STP (Spanning Tree Protocol) parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
The range for the seconds parameter is 1 through 10 seconds.
Example
The following command sets the time delay from STPD1 to 10 seconds:
configure stpd stpd1 hellotime 10
