Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure the maximum rate of a port or a group of ports:
To do... Use the command... Remarks
Enter system view
system-view
—
Enter Ethernet
interface view
or Layer-2
aggregate
interface view
interface interface-type
interface-number
Enter
interface view
or port group
view
Enter port
group view
port-group manual
port-group-name
Required
Use either command.
Configurations made in interface
view will take effect on the
current port only; configurations
made in port group view will take
effect on all ports in the port
group.
Configure the maximum rate of
the port(s)
stp transmit-limit
packet-number
Optional
10 by default
If the maximum 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.
Configuration example
# Set the maximum transmission rate of port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] stp transmit-limit 5
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. Because a device does not know whether a port is directly connected to a terminal,
you need to manually configure the port to be an edge port. After that, this port can transition rapidly
from the blocked state to the forwarding state without delay.
