STP Forward-Time

Hello Experts,
I need a clarification; in STP, when you set the forward delay to 10 seconds does that mean that the switch will wait a total of 20 seconds before transitioning to the forwarding state?

Yes, it means 10 seconds for each listening and learning, for a total
of 20.

Also look at the verification, you can see in the timestamps of the
debug when the transitions between states occurs.
