Port state
Description
Learning
This is a transition state. A port in the Learning state learns MAC
addresses from user traffic to construct a MAC address table.
In the Learning state, the port can send and receive BPDUs, but
cannot forward user traffic.
Discarding
A port in the Discarding state can only receive BPDUs.
CAUTION
MSTP is the default mode for all Huawei datacom devices. After a device experiences the
transition from the MSTP mode to the STP mode, an STP-capable port supports the same
port states as those supported by an MSTP-capable port, including the Forwarding,
Learning, and Discarding states. For details, see
.
l
Three timers
–
Hello Timer
Sets the interval at which BPDUs are sent.
–
Forward Delay Timer
Sets the time spent in the Listening and Learning states.
–
Max Age
Sets the maximum lifetime of a BPDU on the network. When the Max Age time is
reached, the connection to the root bridge is considered broken.
Comparison between STP, RSTP, and MSTP
compares STP, RSTP, and MSTP in terms of the characteristics of each protocol and
their applicable environments.

Precautions
STP
Ensures a loop-free tree
topology that helps
prevent broadcast storms
and allows for redundant
links between switches.
Irrespective of users or
services, all VLANs
share one spanning
tree.
l
If the current
switching device
supports STP and
RSTP, RSTP is
recommended.
l
If the current
switching device
supports STP/RSTP
and MSTP, MSTP
is recommended.
