Context
The rapid transition mechanism is also called the Proposal/Agreement mechanism. All switching
devices support the following modes:
l
Enhanced mode: The current interface counts the root port calculation when it computes
the synchronization flag bit.
–
An upstream device sends a Proposal message to a downstream device, requesting rapid
status transition. After receiving the message, the downstream device sets the port
connected to the upstream device as a root port and blocks all non-edge ports.
–
The upstream device then sends an Agreement message to the downstream device. After
the downstream device receives the message, the root port transitions to the Forwarding
state.
–
The downstream device responds to the Proposal message with an Agreement message.
After receiving the message, the upstream device sets the port connected to the
downstream device as a designated port, and the designated port transitions to the
Forwarding state.
l
Common mode: The current interface ignores the root port when it computes the
synchronization flag bit.
–
An upstream device sends a Proposal message to a downstream device, requesting rapid
status transition. After receiving the message, the downstream device sets the port
connected to the upstream device as a root port and blocks all non-edge ports. The root
port then transitions to the Forwarding state.
–
The downstream device responds to the Proposal message with an Agreement message.
After receiving the message, the upstream device sets the port connected to the
downstream device as a designated port. The designated port then transitions to the
Forwarding state.
When Huawei devices are connected to non-Huawei devices, select the same mode as that used
on non-Huawei devices.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
interface
interface-type interface-number
The view of the Ethernet interface participating in STP calculation is displayed.
Step 3
Run:
stp no-agreement-check
The common rapid transition mechanism is configured.
By default, the interface uses the enhanced rapid transition mechanism.
