Syntax
port port=<number|list|range> status=<enable|disable>
- specific ports may not need to
participate in STP process. These ports typically would be end-stations. If you are not sure – let MNS-6K
software make the decisions
Syntax
timers forward-delay=<4-30> hello=<1-10> age=<6-160>
- change the STP Forward
Delay, Hello timer and Aging timer values
Chapter 13 – Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol
Syntax
set stp type=<stp|rstp> -
Set the switch to support RSTP or change it back to STP. Need to save
and reboot the switch after this command
Syntax
rstp
– enter the RSTP configuration mode
Syntax
rstp <enable|disable>
- enable RSTP – by default, this is disabled and has to be manually
activated
Syntax
port port=<number|list|range> [status=<enable|disable>]
[migration=<enable>] [edge=<enable|disable>] [p2p=<on|off|auto>]
- set the
port type for RSTP
Example
port port=<number|list|range> p2p= off
-
Set the “point-to-point” value to off on
all ports that are connected to
shared LAN segments
(i.e. connections to hubs). The default
value is auto. P2P ports would typically be end stations or computers on the network
Example
port port=<number|list|range> edge=enable
– enable all ports connected to
other hubs, bridges and switches as edge ports
Example
port port=<number|list|range> migration=enable
– set this for all ports
connected to other devices such as hubs, bridges and switches known to support IEEE 802.1d
STP services, but cannot support RSTP services
Syntax
show active-stp
– status whether STP or RSTP is running
Syntax
show rstp <config|ports>
- display the RSTP or STP parameters
Syntax
forceversion <stp|rstp>
-
set the STP or RSTP compatibility mode
Syntax
show-forceversion
-
the current forced version
Syntax
show-timers
- show the values of the timers set for RSTP
