Port transition
to the RSTP
mode
l
stp mcheck
On a switching device
running RSTP, if an
interface is connected to a
device running STP, the
interface automatically
transitions to the STP
mode.
Enable MCheck on an
interface if the interface
fails to automatically
transition to the RSTP
mode.
Maximum
number of
BPDUs sent by
the interface
within each
Hello time
l
stp transmit-limit
packet-
number
If the maximum number of
BPDUs sent by the
interface within each Hello
time interval is set
properly, the rate at which
BPDUs are sent can be
restricted. This parameter
prevents RSTP from
consuming too much
bandwidth if network
flapping occurs.
Edge ports
l
stp edged-port
enable
The ports connected to
terminals do not participate
in STP/RSTP calculation.
If a port is configured as an
edge port, the port does not
participate in STP/RSTP
calculation.
After BPDU protection is
configured on a switching
device, an edge port is shut
down when receiving
BPDUs. You can
configure the port to go Up
after a specified delay has
elapsed.
7.4.1 Establishing the Configuration Task
Before configuring parameters affecting STP/RSTP rapid convergence, familiarize yourself
with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the required
data. This will help you complete the configuration task quickly and accurately.
