hello,
can i please ask a quick question ,
i have been reading about the following command
"spanning-tree mst forward-time"
according to the CCO , it states
The forwarding time specifies how long each of the listening and learning
states last before the interface begins forwarding.
OK,
but the example on the CCO shows this
This example shows how to set the spanning-tree forwarding time to 18
seconds for all MST instances:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree mst forward-time 18
my question is ,
if the above statement about listening and forwarding states is correct ,
i.e this command covers the timer for both the listening and learning states
then shouldnt the example have a forward time of 9 ??
i beleive that they way you work out the forwarding time is as follows
listening=9 and learning=9 , 2x9 =18 in total.
the example from the CCO would be
listening=18 and learning=18 , 2x18 = 36 in total.
can someone please clarify this for me ...
many thanks
