Yeah, 7 would be correct. Max age of 20 + 2x forward delay of 7
------Original Message------ From: jmangawang Sender: [email protected] To: CCIE OSL Subject: [OSL | CCIE_RS] MST and RSTP forward-time question Sent: Jul 5, 2009 11:06 AM Regarding RSTP timers, if I'm given a directive to make sure a port comes online in 34 seconds, do I set the "spanning-tree forward-time #" to 14? Or to 7? I know for plain old STP (PVST+), I'd use 7 (7 for listening, another 7 for learning). But for RSTP, since it doesn't technically have a listening state anymore, do I still have to consider it in the calculation? PG in practice lab Vol 3, Lab 10, Task 1.4 said to set it to 7. I just want to make sure I do it the right way. Regards, Joe Astorino CCIE #24347 (R&S) Sr. Support Engineer – IPexpert, Inc. URL: http://www.IPexpert.com
