Configured in Ethernet
interface view, the setting
is effective on the current
port only; configured in port
group view, the setting is
effective on all ports in the
port group
Configure the maximum
transmission rate of the
port(s)
stp transmit-limit
packet-number
Optional
10 by default
Note:
If the maximum transmission rate setting of a port is too big, the port will send a large
number of MSTP packets within each hello time, thus using excessive network
resources. We recommend that you use the default setting.
II. Configuration example
# Set the maximum transmission rate of port Ethernet 1/1/1 to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface ethernet 1/1/1
[Sysname-Ethernet1/1/1] stp transmit-limit 5
1.3.10 Configuring Ports as Edge Ports
If a port directly connects to a user terminal rather than another device or a shared LAN
segment, this port is regarded as an edge port. When a network topology change
occurs, an edge port will not cause a temporary loop. Therefore, if you specify a port as
an edge port, this port can transition rapidly from the blocked state to the forwarding
state without delay.
