NOTE
The normal mode is recommended. If the fast mode is used, ARP entries will be frequently deleted, causing
a high CPU usage (even 100%). As a result, network flapping will frequently occur.

6.6.2 Setting STP Parameters that Affect STP Convergence
STP cannot implement rapid convergence. However, STP parameters including the network
diameter, timeout interval, Hello timer value, Max Age timer value, and Forward Delay timer
value can affect the STP convergence speed.
Pre-configuration Tasks
Before setting STP parameters that affect STP convergence, configure basic STP functions.
6.6.2.1 Setting the STP Network Diameter
Context
Any two terminals on a switching network are connected through a specific path along multiple
devices. The network diameter is the maximum number of devices between any two terminals.
A larger network diameter indicates a larger network scale.
An improper network diameter may cause slow network convergence and affect communication.
Run the
stp bridge-diameter
command to set an appropriate network diameter based on the
network scale, which helps speed up convergence.
It is recommended that all devices be configured with the same network diameter.
Procedure
Step 1
Run:
system-view
The system view is displayed.
Step 2
Run:
stp bridge-diameter
diameter
The network diameter is configured.
By default, the network diameter is 7.
