I wanted to know how they are related, for instance if there is change in Hello time, Max age and Forward Delay, how it is going to impact the blocking ,listening,learning, forwarding operations

After reading, I noticed that Hello,Max age, Forward Delay are pretty much other names used for blocking, listening, learning , forwarding.
Hello (02)+ Max Age (20) = they can be mapped to Blocking state
Forward Delay= Can be mapped to Listening(15) + Learning(15)
the only difference is on the switch there are commands that can change the Hello, Max age, Forward delay timers
but no command that can change Blocking ,listening, learning, forwarding
Hello (02)+ Max Age (20) = they can be mapped to Blocking state
Forward Delay= Can be mapped to Listening(15) + Learning(15)
the only difference is on the switch there are commands that can change the Hello, Max age, Forward delay timers
but no command that can change Blocking ,listening, learning, forwarding
