Usage guidelines
An appropriate setting of hello time, forward delay, and max age can speed up network convergence.
The values of these timers are related to the network size, and you can set the timers by setting the
network diameter. With the network diameter set to 7 (the default), the three timers will also be set to their
defaults.
To set the network diameter of an STP/RSTP/MSTP switched network, use this command without
specifying any VLAN.
In STP, RSTP, or MSTP mode, each MST region is considered as a device, and the configured network
diameter of the switched network takes effect only on the CIST (or MSTI 0), but it does not take effect on
other MSTIs.
