Re: [Bridge] forward delay

[David GLAUDE Mailing]

As you can see, your bridge id and the root bridge id are not the same. This mean you are NOT the root bridge. The timer used by the STP protocol are those of the root bridge. Your change will only work when you are the root bridge. I would recommend however to avoid such radical value.   There might be a way to disable the STP on "access" port.   David GLAUDE ----- Original Message ----- From: penny To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 10, 2002 4:00 PM Subject: [Bridge] forward delay Hi everybody:   I'm trying to build a software Access Point , and using bridge utilities to connect the wired and wireless network... I find out that when I ping from wirelss client to wired host , the packet trip time always as slow as 15 sec , and then I find out that it is caused by bridge forward delay set to 15 sec default. I use   ./brctl setfd br0 0 , to disable the bridge forward delay, but the delay of 15 sec still exist.... I read the bridge information by  ./brctl showstp br0 and the content is below:   br0  bridge id  8000.00508bd07a8f  designated root 8000.000143e21429  root port     1   path cost   100  max age    20.00   bridge max age    20.00  hello time     2.00   bridge hello time    2.00  forward delay    15.00   bridge forward delay    0.00 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   the " bridge forward delay" is change to 0.00 sec , but there still a " forward delay" set to 15 sec can anybody teach me how to disable the forward delay to 0 sec correctly....
