Configuration Limits of STP/RSTP
The Spanning Tree Algorithm places limits on three of the configuration items described previously:
[Eq. 1]: 1 sec Hello Time 10 sec
[Eq. 2]: 6 sec Max. Age 40 sec
[Eq. 3]: 4 sec Forwarding Delay 30 sec
These three variables are further restricted by the following two inequalities:
[Eq. 4]: 2 x (Hello Time + 1 sec) Max. Age 2 x (Forwarding Delay 1 sec)
Moxa EDS-600s firmware will alert you immediately if any of these restrictions are violated. For example,
setting
Hello Time = 5 sec, Max. Age = 20 sec, and Forwarding Delay = 4 sec does not violate Eqs. 1 through 3, but
does violate Eq. 4, since in this case,
2 x (Hello Time + 1 sec) = 12 sec, and 2 x (Forwarding Delay 1 sec) = 6 sec.
You can remedy the situation in many ways. One solution is simply to increase the Forwarding Delay value to
at least 11 sec.
HINT: Perform the following steps to avoid guessing:
Step 1: Assign a value to Hello Time and then calculate the left most part of Eq. 4 to get the lower limit of Max.
Age.
Step 2: Assign a value to Forwarding Delay and then calculate the right most part of Eq. 4 to get the upper
limit for Max. Age.
Step 3: Assign a value to Forwarding Delay that satisfies the conditions
