Forwarding Timers

When your asked to configure a port to allow it to go from blocking to
forwarding state in say 30 seconds. You can go ahead and configure
"spanning-tree vlan 1 forward-time 15" to force the switch to wait 15
seconds in the listening state and 15 seconds in the learning state, and
then forward. However, it is my understanding that you should also be
configuring the max age as well. So in this scenario, is the right
solution "spanning-tree vlan 1 forward-time 10" and spanning-tree vlan 1
max-age 10" the correct solution, to assure blocking to forwarding in 30
seconds, in the worst case scenario? Hope this makes sense, thoughts are
appreciated.
