F3726, F3211, F3174, R5135, R3816-HP Firewalls and UTM Devices Network Management Command Reference-6PW100

111
Default command level
2: System level
Parameters
time: Sets the max age (in 0.01 seconds), ranging from 600 to 4000 in increments of 100 (as indicated
by 600, 700, 800).
Usage guidelines
In the CIST of an MSTP network, the device determines whether a configuration BPDU received on a port
has expired based on the max age timer. If yes, a new spanning tree calculation process starts. The max
age timer is ineffective for MSTIs.
HP does not recommend that you set the max age timer with this command. Instead, you can specify the
network diameter of the switched network by using the stp bridge-diameter command and let spanning
tree protocols automatically calculate optimal settings of the max age timer. If the network diameter uses
the default value, the max age timer also uses the default value.
Examples
# In MSTP mode, set the max age timer to 10 seconds.
