Exiting Protocol MSTP Mode without Storing the MST Map
The
abort
command, in Protocol MSTP Configuration mode, exits Protocol MSTP Configuration
mode without saving the MST configuration map.
When the
abort
command is used, the changes in the VLAN ID to MSTI mapping will not be
saved. To save the changes in the VLAN ID to MSTI mapping, use the
apply
command in
Protocol MSTP Configuration mode.
NOTE
The
apply
command has the same effect as the exit command, or the shortcut key
<Ctrl+D>.
Command Syntax
device-name
(cfg protocol mstp)#
abort
Storing the MST Map and Terminating the Configuration
The
apply
command, in Protocol MSTP Configuration mode, saves the MST configuration map
and exits Protocol Configuration MSTP mode.
When using the
apply
command, the changes in the VLAN ID to MSTI mapping will be saved. If
you do not want to save the changes in the VLAN ID to MSTI mapping, use the
abort
command in
Protocol MSTP Configuration mode.
Command Syntax
device-name
(cfg protocol mstp)#
apply
Setting the Hello Time
The
mstp hello-time
command, in Protocol Configuration mode, configures hello time for all
MST instances. The
no
form of this command resets the hello time to its default setting.
The hello time is the interval between the generations of configuration messages by the root switch.
These messages indicate that the switch is alive.
By default, the hello time value is 2 seconds.
Command Syntax
device-name
(cfg protocol)#
mstp hello-time
<
seconds
>
device-name
(cfg protocol)#
no mstp hello-time
Argument Description
seconds
The MSTP hello time in seconds. The range is <1-10>.
Setting the Forward Delay Time
The
mstp forward-delay
command, in Protocol Configuration mode, configures the forward time
for all MST instances. The
no
form of this command resets the value to its default.
