Forward Delay Before Ports Transition to Forwarding State

The forwarding delay timer specifies the length of time a spanning-tree protocol bridge port remains in the listening and learning states before transitioning to the forwarding state. Setting the interval too short could cause unnecessary spanning-tree reconvergence. Before changing this parameter, you should have a thorough understanding of spanning-tree protocols.
