NOTE: In a VLAN setup that contains IOM fabrics running more than 100 VLANs, enable RSTP before deploying the
template from MSM.
Global parameters
The root bridge sets the values for forward-time, hello-time, and max-age, and overwrites the values set on other bridges
participating in the RSTP group.
NOTE:
Dell EMC recommends that only experienced network administrators change the RSTP group parameters. Poorly
planned modification of the RSTP parameters can negatively affect network performance.
Forward-time 15 seconds Amount of time an interface waits in the Learning state before it transitions to the
Forwarding state.
Hello-time 2 seconds Time interval in which the bridge sends RSTP BPDUs.
Max-age 20 seconds Length of time the bridge maintains configuration information before it refreshes that
information by recomputing the RSTP topology.

Change the forward-time in CONFIGURATION mode, from 4 to 30, default 15.
spanning-tree rstp forward-time seconds
Change the hello-time in CONFIGURATION mode, from 1 to 10, default 2. With large configurations, especially those
configurations with more ports, Dell EMC recommends increasing the hello-time.

Change the max-age in CONFIGURATION mode, from 6 to 40, default 20.
