802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

Configuring Rapid Reconfiguration Spanning Tree (RSTP)

Note Executing the spanning-tree command alone enables spanning tree. Executing

the command with one or more of the whole-switch RSTP parameters shown

in the table on the previous page, or with any of the per-port RSTP parameters

shown in the table on page 14, does not enable spanning tree. It only configures

the spanning tree parameters, regardless of whether spanning tree is actually

running (enabled) on the switch.

Using this facility, you can completely configure spanning tree the way you

want and then enable it. This method minimizes the impact on the network

operation.

Multiple parameters can be included on the same command line. For example,

to configure a maximum-age of 30 seconds and a hello-time of 3 seconds, you

would issue the following command:

HPswitch (config)# span max 30 hello 3

Syntax: Abbreviations:

spanning-tree

protocol-version <rstp | stp>

force-version <rstp-operation | stp-compatible>

priority <0 - 15>

maximum-age <6 - 40 seconds>

hello-time <1- 10 seconds>

forward-delay <4 - 30 seconds>

span

prot <rstp | stp>

forc <rstp | stp>

pri <0 - 15>

max <6 - 40>

hello <1 - 10>

forw <4 - 30>

Defaults: see the table on the previous page.
