Figure 6.12 – Example 2 for the Relevant Path
Reconfiguration Times
e reconguration time for a Spanning Tree depends on the timer values for MaxAge and
Forward Delay.
e minimum reconguration time is: 2 × Forward Delay e maximum reconguration
time is: 2 × Forward Delay + MaxAge.
For the values recommended by the IEEE standard, the value for ten active STP switches
along a path beginning with the root switch is between 30 seconds and 50 seconds.
e Table below shows an overview of the switch-over time response in seconds to be ex-
pected for the maximum number of switches within a Spanning Tree segment (see Table
6.2).
