Command Usage
This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait
without receiving a configuration message before attempting to
reconfigure. All device ports (except for designated ports) should
receive configuration messages at regular intervals. Any port that ages
out STA information (provided in the last configuration message)
becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it is a root port,
a new root port is selected from among the device ports attached to the
network.
Example
Console(config)#spanning-tree max-age 40
