Configuring the Maximum Aging Time for a VLAN
Note Exercise care when configuring aging time. In most cases, we recommend that you use the
spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID root primary and the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID root secondary
commands to modify the maximum aging time.
To configure the spanning tree maximum aging time for a VLAN, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure the maximum aging time for VLAN 200 to 36 seconds:
Switch# configure terminal
