Configuring the Forwarding Delay

The forwarding delay timer specifies the length of time an STP bridge port remains in the listening and learning states before transitioning to the forwarding state. Setting the interval too short could cause unnecessary spanning-tree reconvergence. Before changing this parameter, you should have a thorough understanding of STP.

To configure the forwarding delay timer, include the following statement:




forward-delay seconds;

You can configure this statement at the following hierarchy levels:

[edit protocols (mstp | rstp)]
[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols (mstp | rstp)]
[edit protocols vstp vlan vlan-id]
[edit routing-instances routing-instance-name protocols vstp vlan vlan-id]
