Configuration procedure
To configure the link type of a port:
Step Command
Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet or
aggregate interface view.
interface interface-type
interface-number
N/A
3.
Configure the port link type.
stp point-to-point
{
auto
|
force-false
|
force-true
}
By default, the link type is
auto
where the port automatically
detects the link type.
Configuring the mode a port uses to recognize
and send MSTP packets
A port can receive and send MSTP packets in the following formats:
•
dot1s
—802.1s-compliant standard format
•
legacy
—Compatible format
By default, the packet format recognition mode of a port is
auto
. The port automatically distinguishes
the two MSTP packet formats, and determines the format of packets that it will send based on the
recognized format.
You can configure the MSTP packet format on a port. Then, the port sends only MSTP packets of the
configured format to communicate with devices that send packets of the same format.
By default, a port in
auto
mode sends 802.1s MSTP packets. When the port receives an MSTP
packet of a legacy format, the port starts to send packets only of the legacy format. This prevents the
port from frequently changing the format of sent packets. To configure the port to send 802.1s MSTP
packets, shut down and then bring up the port.
When the number of existing MSTIs exceeds 48, the port can send only 802.1s MSTP packets.
To configure the MSTP packet format to be supported on a port:
Step Command Remarks
1.
Enter system view.
system-view
N/A
2.
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet or
aggregate interface view.

3.
Configure the mode that the
port uses to recognize/send
MSTP packets.

The default setting is
auto
.
Enabling outputting port state transition
information
In a large-scale spanning tree network, you can enable devices to output the port state transition
information. Then, you can monitor the port states in real time.
To enable outputting port state transition information:
