Networking::STPGlobals::set_forward_delay

Introduced : BIG-IP_v9.0
Sets the forward delay parameter, which controls how long an interface was blocked from forwarding network traffic after a reconfiguration of the spanning tree topology. The default value is 15 seconds, and the valid range is 4-30 seconds. Note that this parameter has no effect when the STP mode is RSPT or MSTP, as long as all bridges in the spanning tree use the RSTP or MSTP protocol.
