Well .. to make things easier there is a cli which will tell you that diameter of X will give what values for hello , dead and max age . This is available in all cat based switches . Please see below : SW8#test spanning-tree diameter 2 diameter 2 and hello time 2 gives max age = 10 and forward delay 7 SW8# SW8#test spanning-tree diameter 3 diameter 3 and hello time 2 gives max age = 12 and forward delay 9 SW8# So you can play around and set the diameter accordingly .
