config stp ports
status to 802.1w RSTP status. RSTP can coexist with standard STP,
however the benefits of RSTP are not realized on a port where an
802.1d network connects to an 802.1w enabled network. Migration
should be enabled (yes) on ports connected to network stations or
segments that will be upgraded to 802.1w RSTP onall or some portion
of the segment.
edge [true|false] – true designates the port as an edge port. Edge ports
cannot create loops, however an edge port can lose edge port status if
a topology change creates a potential for a loop. An edge port normally
should not receive BPDU packets. If a BPDU packet is received it
automatically loses edge port status. False indicates that the port does
not have edge port status.
p2p [true|false|auto] – true indicates a point-to-point (P2P) shared link.
P2P ports are similar to edge ports however they are restricted in that a
P2P port must operate in full-duplex. Like edge ports, P2P ports
transition to a forwarding state rapidly thus benefiting from RSTP. A p2p
value of false indicates that the port cannot have p2p status.
Auto
allows the port to have p2p status whenever possible and operate as if
the p2p status were
true . If the port cannot maintain this status (for
example if the port is forced to half-duplex operation) the p2p status
changes to operate as if the p2p value were
false .
state [enabled|disabled]
−
Allows STP to be enabled or disabled for the
ports specified in the port list. The default is disabled.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
Example usage:
To configure STP with path cost 19, priority 15, and state enabled for ports 1-5 of module 1.
enable stp
Purpose Used to globally enable STP on the switch.
Syntax enable stp
Description This command allows the Spanning Tree Protocol to be globally
enabled on the switch.
Parameters None.
Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.
