relation between hello timer and max age in stp

[sarahr202]

hi everybody!

I just want to know if there is any relation between the hello timer and max age in stp. Does descreasing the hello timer will also decrease the max age timer which in turn decrease the time to discover dead neighbor?

thanks a lot!

Changing hello-timer doesn't change the maxage-timer automatically.
