USING THE CLI
EXAMPLE:
Suppose you want to enable STP on a system in which no port-based VLANs are active and change the hello-time
from the default value of 2 to 8 seconds. Additionally, suppose you want to change the path and priority costs for
port 5 only. To do so, enter the following commands.
HP9300(config)# span hello-time 8
HP9300(config)# span ethernet 5 path-cost 15 priority 64
Here is the syntax for global STP parameters.
Syntax: span [forward-delay <value>] | [hello-time <value>] | [maximum-age <time>] | [priority <value>]
Here is the syntax for STP port parameters.
Syntax: span ethernet <portnum> path-cost <value> | priority <value>
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
To modify the STP parameters:
1. Log on to the device using a valid user name and password for read-write access. The System configuration
panel is displayed.
2. Click on the plus sign next to Configure in the tree view to display the configuration options.
3. Select the STP
