HI, when I study BCMSN, I do not understand clearly about the function of timers(Hello,Maxage,fwd delay). Espetially when there is a topolody change. Also , I don't know the process or the BPDU exchange between the switch abserve the topology and root bridge. Can anybody discuss it? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
