When you configure MST region–related parameters, MSTP launches a new spanning tree calculation process that may cause network topology instability. This is most likely to occur when you configure the VLAN-to-instance mapping table. The launch will occur only after the MST region–related parameters are activated with the active region-configuration command, or you enable the spanning tree feature with the stp enable command.

H3C recommends that you use the check region-configuration command to determine whether the MST region configurations to be activated are correct and that you run this command only if they are correct.

Related commands: instance, region-name, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo, and check region-configuration.

Examples

# Map VLAN 2 to MSTI 1 and activate MST region configuration manually.

Parameters

None

Description

Use the check region-configuration command to view MST region pre-configuration information, including the region name, revision level, and VLAN-to-instance mapping settings.

Two or more spanning tree routers belong to the same MST region only if they are configured to have the same format selector (0 by default, not configurable), MST region name, MST region revision level, and the same VLAN-to-instance mapping entries in the MST region, and if they are interconnected via a physical link.

H3C recommends that you use this command to determine whether the MST region configurations to be activated are correct and that you activate them only if they are correct.

Related commands: instance, region-name, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo, and active region-configuration.

Description

Use the display stp command to view the spanning tree status and statistics.

Based on the spanning tree status and statistics, you can analyze and maintain the network topology or check whether spanning tree protocols are working normally.

In STP/RSTP mode:

· If you do not specify any port, this command displays the spanning tree information for all ports. The displayed information is sorted by port name.

· If you specify a port list, this command displays the spanning tree information for the specified ports. The displayed information is sorted by port name.

In MSTP mode:

· If you do not specify any MSTI or port, this command displays the spanning tree information of all MSTIs on all ports. The displayed information is sorted by MSTI ID and by port name in each MSTI.

· If you specify an MSTI but not a port, this command displays the spanning tree information on all ports in that MSTI. The displayed information is sorted by port name.

· If you specify some ports but not an MSTI, this command displays the spanning tree information of all MSTIs on the specified ports. The displayed information is sorted by MSTI ID and by port name in each MSTI.

· If you specify both an MSTI ID and a port list, this command displays the spanning tree information on the specified ports in the specified MSTI. The displayed information is sorted by port name.

The spanning tree status information includes the following information:

· CIST global parameters:

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

instance-id: MSTI ID. The value ranges from 0 to 47, where 0 represents the CIST.

vlan-list: Specifies a VLAN list in the format of vlan-list = { vlan-id [ to vlan-id2 ] }&<1-10>, where vlan-id represents the VLAN ID ranging from 1 to 4094, and &<1-10> indicates that you can specify up to 10 VLAN IDs or VLAN ID ranges.

Description

Use the instance command to map the specified VLANs to the specified MSTI.

Use the undo instance command to remap the specified VLAN or all VLANs to the CIST (MSTI 0).

By default, all VLANs are mapped to the CIST.

If you specify no VLAN in the undo instance command, all VLANs mapped to the specified MSTI are remapped to the CIST.

You cannot map the same VLAN to different MSTIs. If you map a VLAN that has been mapped to an MSTI to a new MSTI, the old mapping will be automatically removed.

After configuring this command, you need to run the active region-configuration command to activate the VLAN-to-instance mapping.

Related commands: display stp region-configuration, check region-configuration, and active region-configuration.

2: System level

Parameters

name: MST region name, a string of 1 to 32 characters.

Description

Use the region-name command to configure the MST region name.

Use the undo region-name command to restore the default MST region name.

By default, the MST region name of a router is its MAC address.

The MST region name, the VLAN-to-instance mapping table and the MSTP revision level of a router determine the MST region to which the router belongs.

After configuring this command, you need to run the active region-configuration command to activate the configured MST region name.

Related commands: instance, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo, display stp region-configuration, check region-configuration, and active region-configuration.

Parameters

level: MSTP revision level, ranging from 0 to 65535.

Description

Use the region-level command to configure the MSTP revision level.

Use the undo region-level command to restore the default MSTP revision level.

By default, the MSTP revision level is 0.

The MSTP revision level, the MST region name and the VLAN-to-instance mapping table of a router determine the MST region to which the router belongs. When the MST region name and VLAN-to-instance mapping table are both the same for two MST regions, you can still tell them apart by their MSTP revision levels.

After configuring this command, you need to run the active region-configuration command to activate the configured MST region level.

Parameters

diameter: Specifies the switched network diameter, ranging from 2 to 7.

Description

Use the stp bridge-diameter command to specify the network diameter, namely the maximum possible number of stations between any two terminal devices on the switched network.

Use the undo stp bridge-diameter command to restore the default.

By default, the network diameter of the switched network is 7.

An appropriate setting of hello time, forward delay and max age can speed up network convergence. The values of these timers are related to the network size and you can set the timers by setting the network diameter. With the network diameter set to 7 (the default), the three timer are also set to their defaults.

Each MST region is considered as a device, and the configured network diameter of the switched network is only effective for the CIST (or the common root bridge), not for MSTIs.

Related commands: stp timer forward-delay, stp timer hello, and stp timer max-age.

Parameters

auto: Configures the ports to recognize the MSTP BPDU format automatically and accordingly determine the format of MSTP BPDUs to send.

dot1s: Configures the ports to receive and send only standard-format (802.1s-compliant) MSTP BPDUs.

legacy: Configures the ports to receive and send only compatible-format MSTP BPDUs.

Description

Use the stp compliance command to configure the mode the specified ports will use to recognize and send MSTP BPDUs.

Use the undo stp compliance command to restore the default.

By default, a port automatically recognizes the formats of received MSTP packets and determines the formats of MSTP packets to be sent based on the recognized formats.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting takes effect on the interface only.

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.

Configured in Layer 2 aggregate interface view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate interface. Configured on a member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group.

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

instance instance-id: Sets the path cost of the ports in a particular MSTI. The instance-id argument ranges from 0 to 47, where 0 represents the CIST.

cost: Path cost of the port, with an effective range of that depends on the path cost calculation standard adopted.

· With the IEEE 802.1d-1998 standard selected for path cost calculation, the cost argument ranges from 1 to 65535.

· With the IEEE 802.1t standard selected for path cost calculation, the cost argument ranges from 1 to 200000000.

· With the private standard selected for path cost calculation, the cost argument ranges from 1 to 200000.

Description

Use the stp cost command to set the path cost of the ports in the specified MSTI or all MSTIs.

Use the undo stp cost command to restore the default.

By default, the router automatically calculates the path costs of ports in each MSTI based on the corresponding standard.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting takes effect on the interface only.

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.

Path cost is an important factor in spanning tree calculation. Setting different path costs for a port in MSTIs allows VLAN traffic flows to be forwarded along different physical links, thus achieving VLAN-based load balancing.

The path cost setting of a port can affect the role selection of the port. When the path cost of a port is changed, MSTP will re-compute the role of the port and initiate a state transition.

Related commands: display stp and stp pathcost-standard.

Parameters

enable: Configures the ports as edge ports.

disable: Configures the ports as non-edge ports.

Description

Use the stp edged-port enable command to configure the ports as edge ports.

Use the stp edged-port disable command to configure the ports as non-edge ports.

Use the undo stp edged-port command to restore the default.

By default, all ports are non-edge ports.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting takes effect on the interface only.

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.

If a port directly connects to a user terminal rather than another bridge or a shared LAN segment, this port is regarded as an edge port. When the network topology changes, an edge port will not cause a temporary loop. Therefore, configuring a port as an edge port can enable the port to transition to the forwarding state rapidly. H3C recommends that you configure a port directly connecting to a user terminal as an edge port to enable it to transition to the forwarding state rapidly.

Normally, configuration BPDUs from other bridges will not be received by an edge port because it does not connect to any other bridge. Before the BPDU guard function is enabled, if a port receives a configuration BPDU, the port is working actually as a non-edge port even if you have configured it as an edge port.

Among loop guard, root guard and edge port settings, only one function (whichever is configured the earliest) can take effect on a port at the same time.

Related commands: stp loop-protection and stp root-protection.

Parameters

None

Description

Use the stp command to enable the spanning tree feature globally or on ports.

Use the undo stp command to disable the spanning tree feature globally or on ports.

By default, the spanning tree feature is enabled on all ports and disabled globally.

After you enable the spanning tree feature, the router determines whether to work in STP-compatible mode, RSTP mode, or MSTP mode according to your MSTP work mode setting. When the spanning tree feature is disabled, the router becomes a transparent bridge.

When the spanning tree feature is enabled, it dynamically maintains spanning tree status of the corresponding VLANs based on the received configuration BPDUs. When the spanning tree feature is disabled, it stops maintaining the spanning tree status.

Configured in system view, the setting is effective for the router globally.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the port only.

Configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

Configured in Layer 2 aggregate interface view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate interface. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group.

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

None

Description

Use the stp mcheck command to perform the mCheck operation globally or on the port.

If a port on a bridge running MSTP (or RSTP) connects to a bridge running STP, this port will automatically migrate to the STP-compatible mode. However, it will not be able to migrate automatically back to the MSTP (or RSTP) mode, but will remain working in the STP-compatible mode under the following circumstances:

· The bridge running STP is shut down or removed.

· The bridge running STP migrates to the MSTP (or RSTP) mode.

Then you can perform an mCheck operation to force the port to migrate to the MSTP (or RSTP) mode.

The router works in STP-compatible mode, RSTP mode or MSTP mode depending on the spanning tree work mode.

The stp mcheck command is effective only when the router works in RSTP or MSTP mode.

Configured in system view, the setting takes effect globally.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting takes effect on the interface only.

Parameters

auto: Specifies automatic detection of the link type.

force-false: Specifies the non-point-to-point link type.

force-true: Specifies the point-to-point link type.

Description

Use the stp point-to-point command to configure the link type of the ports.

Use the undo stp point-to-point command to restore the default.

The default setting is auto, which specifies that the MSTP-enabled router automatically detects whether a port connects to a point-to-point link.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting takes effect on the interface only.

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all member ports in the port group.

When connecting to a non-point-to-point link, a port cannot perform rapid state transition.

You can configure the link type as point-to-point for a Layer 2 aggregate interface or a port that works in full duplex mode. H3C recommends that you use the default setting to let the router automatically detect the port link type.

The stp point-to-point force-false or stp point-to-point force-true command configured on a port in MSTP mode is effective for all MSTIs.

If the physical link to which the port connects is not a point-to-point link but you set it to be one, your configuration may bring a temporary loop.

Parameters

time: Forward delay in centiseconds, ranging from 400 to 3000 in steps of 100 (as in 400, 500, 600).

Description

Use the stp timer forward-delay command to set the forward delay timer of the router.

Use the undo stp timer forward-delay command to restore the default.

By default, the forward delay timer is 1500 centiseconds.

The forward delay timer determines the time interval of state transition. To prevent temporary loops, a spanning tree port goes through the learning (intermediate) state before it transitions from the discarding to the forwarding state. To stay synchronized with the remote device, the port has a wait period between transition states that is determined by the forward delay timer.

H3C does not recommend you to set the forward delay with this command. Instead, you can specify the network diameter of the switched network by using the stp bridge-diameter command and let spanning tree protocols automatically calculate optimal settings of the forward delay timer. If the network diameter uses the default value, the forward delay timer also uses the default value.

Related commands: stp timer hello, stp timer max-age, and stp bridge-diameter.

Parameters

time: Hello time in centiseconds, ranging from 100 to 1000 in steps of 100 (as in 100, 200, 300).

Description

Use the stp timer hello command to set the hello time of the router.

Use the undo stp timer hello command to restore the default.

By default, the hello time is set to 200 centiseconds.

Hello time is the time interval at which spanning tree devices send configuration BPDUs to maintain spanning tree. If a router fails to receive configuration BPDUs within the set period of time, a new spanning tree calculation process will be triggered due to timeout.

H3C does not recommend you to set the hello time with this command. Instead, you can specify the network diameter of the switched network by using the stp bridge-diameter command and let spanning tree protocols automatically calculate optimal settings of the hello timer. If the network diameter uses the default value, the hello timer also uses the default value.

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

time: Max age in centiseconds, ranging from 600 to 4000 in steps of 100 (as in 600, 700, 800).

Description

Use the stp timer max-age command to set the max age timer of the router.

Use the undo stp timer max-age command to restore the default.

By default, the max age is set to 2000 centiseconds.

In the CIST of an MSTP network, the router determines whether a configuration BPDU received on a port has expired, based on the max age timer. If yes, a new spanning tree calculation process starts. The max age timer is ineffective for MSTIs.

H3C does not recommend you to set the max age timer with this command. Instead, you can specify the network diameter of the switched network by using the stp bridge-diameter command and let spanning tree protocols automatically calculate optimal settings of the max age timer. If the network diameter uses the default value, the max age timer also uses the default value.

Related commands: stp timer forward-delay, stp timer hello, and stp bridge-diameter.

Examples

# Set the max age timer of the router to 1000 centiseconds.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp timer max-age 1000

stp timer-factor

Syntax

stp timer-factor factor

undo stp timer-factor

View

System view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

factor: Timeout factor, ranging from 1 to 20.

Description

Use the stp timer-factor command to set the timeout factor, which decides the timeout time. Timeout time = timeout factor × 3 × hello time.

Use the undo stp timer-factor command to restore the default.

By default, the timeout factor is 3.

After the network topology is stabilized, each non-root bridge forwards configuration BPDUs to the surrounding bridges at the interval of hello time to check whether any link is faulty. Typically, if a bridge does not receive a BPDU from the upstream bridge within nine times the hello time, it will assume that the upstream bridge has failed and start a new spanning tree calculation process.

In a stable network, this kind of spanning tree calculation may occur because the upstream bridge is busy. In this case, you can avoid such unwanted spanning tree calculations by lengthening the timeout time, thus saving the network resources. H3C recommends that you set the timeout factor to 5, 6, or 7 for a stable network.

Related commands: stp timer hello.

Examples

# Set the timeout factor of the bridge to 7.

stp transmit-limit

Syntax

stp transmit-limit limit

undo stp transmit-limit

View

Ethernet interface view, port group view, Layer 2 aggregate interface view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

limit: Maximum number of BPDUs the ports can send within each hello time, ranging from 1 to 255.

Description

Use the stp transmit-limit command to set the maximum transmission rate of the ports.

Use the undo stp transmit-limit command to restore the default.

By default, the maximum transmission rate of all ports of the bridge is 10, that is, each port can send up to 10 BPDUs within each hello time.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting takes effect on the interface only.

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all member ports in the port group.

A higher maximum transmission rate value means that the port can send more BPDUs within each hello time, and requires more system resources. An appropriate maximum transmission rate setting can limit the speed at which a port sends BPDUs and prevent MSTP from using excessive bandwidth resources during network topology changes. H3C recommends that you use the default value.

Examples

# Set the maximum transmission rate of port GigabitEthernet 4/1/1 to 5.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 4/1/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet4/1/1] stp transmit-limit 5

vlan-mapping modulo

Syntax

vlan-mapping modulo modulo

View

MST region view

Default level

2: System level

Parameters

modulo: Modulo value. The value range of this argument is 1 to 47.

Description

Use the vlan-mapping modulo command to map VLANs in the MST region to MSTIs according to the specified modulo value, thus quickly creating a VLAN-to-instance mapping table.

By default, all VLANs are mapped to the CIST (MSTI 0).

You cannot map the same VLAN to different MSTIs. If you map a VLAN that has been mapped to an MSTI to a new MSTI, the old mapping will be automatically removed.

This command maps each VLAN to the MSTI whose ID is (VLAN ID - 1) %modulo + 1, where (VLAN ID - 1) %modulo is the modulo operation for (VLAN ID - 1). If the modulo value is 15, for example, then VLAN 1 will be mapped to MSTI 1, VLAN 2 to MSTI 2, VLAN 15 to MSTI 15, VLAN 16 to MSTI 1, and so on.
