I would read the question to cover only how long it takes for a specific
port to go from blocking to forwarding, which would be the listening and
learning timers. (2x4sec = 8sec). So, I would set the forward STP timer on
the root bridge to 4 sec.

Subject: Basic STP question
All,
This is one of those basic questions that you dont think about until you
have to do it but I am unclear of a requirement and would like everyones
thoughts. STP convergence, I have a question that reads as follows...
Configure your Layer 2 network to forward packets in 8 seconds after a
failure.
My thinking is I would set the Hello time to 1sec and the forward time to 4
seconds and leave max age alone. Is this correct? and also should I modify
the hello time at all? I set this up in my home lab and it appears to
work, but does it meet the requirements of the question?
Thanks,
Chris
