set protocols spanning-tree mstp hello-time

The set protocols spanning-tree mstp hello-time command sets the interval of the switching device to send BPDUs when MSTP is running.

Command Syntax

set protocols spanning-tree mstp hello-time <hello-time>

Parameter

Parameter	Description
hello-time <hello-time>	Specifies the interval of the switch to send BPDUs. The value is an integer, in seconds, that ranges from 1 to 10. The default value is 2s.

Usage Guidelines

The relationships between the Hello Time, Forward Delay, and Max Age are as follows. The spanning tree functions properly only if the correct relationships are established. Otherwise, frequent network flapping occurs.

2 * (Forward Delay - 1.0) ≥ Max Age
Max Age ≥ 2 * (Hello Time + 1.0)

Example

Set the interval of the switching device to send BPDUs to 5s when MSTP is running.
