STP, RSTP, and MSTP configuration procedures

Specifying the bridge maximum aging time
In any mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP), use this command to control the maximum length of time that
passes before an interface saves its Bridge Protocol Data Unit (BPDU) configuration information.
To specify the bridge maximum aging time, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Enable the error disable timeout timer
In any mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP), use this command to enable the timer to bring a port out of the
disabled state. When the STP BPDU guard disables a port, the port remains in the disabled state
unless the port is enabled manually. This command allows you to enable the port from the disabled
state. For details on configuring the error disable timeout interval, see “Specifying the error disable
timeout interval” on page 50.
To enable the error disable timeout timer, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch>#config t
Enter configuration commands, one
per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Enter a mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP). switch(config)#protocol
spanning-tree stp
3. Specify the bridge maximum aging time. The range is 6
through 40 seconds. The default is 20 seconds. When
configuring the maximum aging time, the max-age setting
must be greater than the hello-time setting. The following
relationship should be kept:
2*(forward_delay - 1)>=max_age>=2*(hello_time + 1)
switch(conf-stp)#max-age seconds
4. Display the spanning-tree configuration. switch(conf-stp)#do show
spanning-tree
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch>#config t
Enter configuration commands, one per
line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Enter a mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP). switch(config)#protocol spanning-tree
stp
3. Enable the error disable timeout timer. By
default, the timeout feature is disabled.
switch(conf-stp)#error-disable-timeout
enable
4. Display the spanning-tree configuration. switch(conf-stp)#do show spanning-tree
