## Property Details

### The `“ageing-time”` property

      “ageing-time”              guint

The Ethernet MAC address aging time, in seconds.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 1000000

Default value: 300

Since: 0.9.8

### The `“forward-delay”` property

      “forward-delay”            guint

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) forwarding delay, in seconds.

Flags: Read / Write / Construct

Allowed values: <= 30

Default value: 15

Since: 0.9.8

### The `“hello-time”` property

      “hello-time”               guint
