CHAPTER 12: SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP)

CONFIGURING STP

MULTILINK ML810 MANAGED EDGE SWITCH – INSTRUCTION MANUAL

12–5

•

Priority

: STP uses this to determine which ports are used for forwarding. Lower the 

number means higher priority. Value ranges from 0 to 255. Default is 128

•

Path Cost

: This is the assigned port cost value used for the switch to determine the 

forwarding points. Values range from 1 to 65535

•

State

: indicates the STP state of individual ports. Values can be Listening, Learning, 

Forwarding, Blocking and Disabled.

•

Des. Bridge

: This is the port's designated root bridge

•

Des. Port

: This is the port's designated root port

To enable or disable STP, enter the STP configuration mode via the 

stp

 command and use 

the 

stp enable

 or 

stp disable

 command. 

To 

stp

 command enters STP configuration mode:

stp

The 

enable

 and 

disable

 parameters start (enable) or stop (disable) STP.

stp

 <enable|disable>

The 

stp

 and 

rstp

 parameters set the spanning tree protocol to be IEEE 802.1d or 802.1w 

(Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol).

set stp

 type=<stp|rstp>

The 

show active-stp

 command display which version of STP is currently active.

show active-stp

NOTE

Note

Incorrect STP settings can adversely affect network performance. GE recommends starting 
with the default STP settings. Changing the settings requires a detailed understanding of 
STP. For more information on STP, please refer to the IEEE 802.1d standard.

NOTE

Note

It is always a good idea to check which mode of STP is active. If the proper mode is not 
active, the configuration command 

stp

 will not be understood. To set the proper mode, 

use the 

set stp

 command.
