Configuring STP on the Switch
Summit24e3 Switch Installation and User Guide 163
3 Enable STP for one or more STP domains using the following command:
enable stpd {<stpd_name>}
NOTE
All VLANs belong to a STPD. If you do not want to run STP on a VLAN, you must add the VLAN to a
STPD that is disabled.
Once you have created the STPD, you can optionally configure STP parameters for the STPD.
CAUTION
You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience
with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
The following parameters can be configured on each STPD:
• Hello time
• Forward delay
• Max age
• Bridge priority
The following parameters can be configured on each port:
• Path cost
• Port priority
NOTE
The device supports the RFC 1493 Bridge MIB. Parameters of only the s0 default STPD are accessible
through this MIB.
Table 45 shows the commands used to configure STP.
