MES53xx, MES33xx, MES23xx Ethernet Switch Series 87
Multiprocess STP mechanism is destined for creating independent trees of STP/RSTP/MSTP on the
device ports. Status changes of a individual tree do not impact to the status of other trees that allows you
to increase network stability and reduce time of the rebuilding trees in case of breakdowns. You should
exclude the possibility of appearing the rings between ports-members of different trees. To service
isolated trees, a specific process is created for each tree in the system. The device ports of the tree are
matched with the process.
5.16.5.1 STP, RSTP configuration
Global configuration mode commands
Command line prompt in the global configuration mode is as follows:
console(config)#
Table 5.71. Global configuration mode commands
Enable STP on the switch.
Disable STP on the switch.
spanning-tree mode {stp |
rstp | mst}
Set STP operation mode.
- stp—IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol;
- rstp—IEEE 802.1W Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol;
- mst—IEEE 802.1S Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol.
spanning-tree forward-time
seconds
seconds: (4..30)/15
seconds
Set the time interval for listening and learning states before
switching to the forwarding mode.
no spanning-tree
spanning-tree hello-time
seconds
seconds: (1..10)/2
seconds
Set the interval for broadcasting 'Hello' messages to the
communicating switches.
no spanning-tree hello-time
spanning-tree
Enable protection that disables any interface when a BPDU
packet is received.
no spanning-tree
Disable protection that disables the interface when a BPDU
packet is received.
spanning-tree max-age
seconds
seconds: (6..40)/20
seconds
Set the lifetime of the STP spanning tree.
spanning-tree priority
prior_val
prior_val:
(0..61440)/32768
Set the priority of the STP spanning tree.
Priority value must be divisible by 4096.
no spanning-tree priority
spanning-tree pathcost
method {long | short}
Set the method for defining the path cost.
- long – cost value in the range 1..200000000;
- short – cost value in the range 1..65535.
no spanning-tree pathcost
method
spanning-tree bpdu
{filtering | flooding}
Set the BPDU packet processing mode by the interface on
which STP is disabled.
- filtering – BPDU packets are filtered on the interface on
which STP is disabled;
- flooding – untagged BPDU packets are transmitted and
tagged packets are filtered on the interface on which STP is
disabled.
