Re: RAPID PVST question (forward-delay)

Hi Anthony,

I read in CCNP Text that timers need to be changed only on the root switch as
it will be propagated in BPDU packets to all others. If I remember correct I
thought it was in the STP chapter. I assumed the same for RSTP. So should we
change the timers in all switches involved?

Yes - and it is a global configuration change for both (or all)
switches involved.
