Syntax

check region-configuration

View

MST region view

Parameters

None

Description

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

Be sure that your MST region configurations are correct, especially the VLAN-to-instance mapping table. MSTP-compliant devices are in the same MST region only when they have the same region name, the same VLAN-to-instance mapping table and the same MSTP revision level setting. A device will not be in a different region if it is different in any of these three settings. You can view all the MST region–related configuration information by using this command and determine the MST region the device is currently in, or check whether the MST region configuration is correct.

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

1.1.15 stp

Syntax

stp { enable | disable }

undo stp

View

System view, Ethernet interface view, port group view

Parameters

enable: Enables the MSTP feature.

disable: Disables the MSTP feature.

Description

Use the stp command to enable or disable the MSTP feature globally or on the port(s).

Use the undo stp command to restore the default MSTP status.

Whether a device is globally MSTP-enabled by default depends on the specific device model. By default, MSTP is enabled for all ports.

Note that:

l To control MSTP flexibly, you can disable the MSTP feature for certain ports so that they will not take part in spanning tree calculation and thus to save the device’s CPU resources.

l After you enable MSTP, the device determines whether to work in STP-compatible mode, in RSTP mode or in MSTP mode according to your MSTP work mode setting. After MSTP is disabled, the device becomes a transparent bridge.

l After being enabled, MSTP dynamically maintains spanning tree status of the corresponding VLANs based on the received configuration BPDUs. After being disabled, it stops maintaining the spanning tree status.

l Configured in system view, the setting is effective for the device globally; configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

Related commands: stp mode.

1.1.21 stp bridge-diameter

Syntax

stp bridge-diameter bridge-number

undo stp bridge-diameter

View

System view

Parameters

bridge-number: Specifies the switched network diameter, in the range of 2 to 7.

Description

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

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

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. You can set these three timers indirectly by setting the network diameter. Based on the network diameter you configured, MSTP automatically sets an optimal hello time, forward delay, and max age for the device. With the network diameter set to 7 (the default), the three timer are also set to their defaults.

Note that this configuration is effective for the CIST and root bridge only, and not for MSTIs.

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

1.1.22 stp compliance

Syntax

stp compliance { auto | dot1s | legacy }

undo stp compliance

View

Ethernet interface view, port group view

Parameters

auto: Configures the port(s) to recognize the MSTP BPDU format automatically and accordingly determine the format of MSTP BPDUs to send.

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

legacy: Configures the port(s) to receive and send only compatible-format MSTP BPDUs.

Description

Use the stp compliance command to configure the mode the port(s) will use to recognize and send MSTP BPDUs.

Use the undo stp compliance command to restore the system default.

The default mode is auto, namely all ports recognize the BPDU format automatically.

Note that:

l Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

l If the mode is set to auto on a port, the port automatically recognizes and resolves the received compatible-format BPDUs or 802.1s-compliant BPDUs, and sends, when needed, compatible-format or 802.1s-compliant BPDUs.

l If the mode is set to legacy or dot1s, on a port, the port can only receive and send BPDUs of the specified format. If the port is configured not to detect the packet format automatically while it works in the MSTP mode, and if it receives a packet in the format other than as configured, that port will become a designated port, and the port will remain in the discarding state to prevent the occurrence of a loop.

Examples

# Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 to receive and send only standard-format (802.1s) MSTP packets.

<Sysname>system-view

[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/1] stp compliance dot1s

Parameters

None

Description

Use the stp config-digest-snooping command to enable Digest Snooping.

Use the undo stp config-digest-snooping command to disable Digest Snooping.

The feature is disabled by default.

Notice that:

l You need to enable this feature both globally and on ports connected to other vendors’ devices to make it take effect. It is recommended to enable the feature on all associated ports first and then globally, making all configured ports take effect at the same time to minimize the impact, and disable the feature globally to disable it on all associated ports.

l It is not recommended to enable Digest Snooping on the MST region edge port to avoid loops.

1.1.24 stp cost

Syntax

stp [ instance instance-id ] cost cost

undo stp [ instance instance-id ] cost

View

Ethernet interface view, port group view

Parameters

instance instance-id: Sets the path cost of the port(s) in a particular MST instance. The effective range of instance-id is 0 to 15, with 0 representing the common internal spanning tree (CIST).

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

Description

Use the stp cost command to set the path cost of the port(s) in the specified MST instance or all MST instances.

Use the undo stp cost command to restore the system default.

By default, the device automatically calculates the path costs of ports in each MST instance based on the corresponding standard.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

If you set instance-id to 0, you are setting the path cost of the port in the CIST. The path cost setting of a port can affect the role selection of the port. Setting different path costs for the same port in different MST instances allows different VLAN traffic flows to be forwarded along different physical links, thus to enable per-VLAN load balancing. When the path cost of a port is changed, MSTP will re-compute the role of the port and initiate a state transition.

If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST instance only.

Examples

# Set the path cost of port Ethernet 1/0/3 in MST instance 2 to 200.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface Ethernet 1/0/3

Description

Use the stp edged-port enable command to configure the port(s) to be an edge port or edge ports.

Use the stp edged-port disable or undo stp edged-port enable command to configure the port(s) to be a non-edge port or non-edge ports.

All Ethernet ports are non-edge ports by default.

Note that:

l Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

l 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 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. We recommend that you configure an Ethernet port directly connecting to a user terminal as an edge port before to enable it to transition to the forwarding state rapidly.

l Normally, configuration BPDUs from other devices cannot reach an edge port because it does not connect to any other device. 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.

# Configure Ethernet 1/0/1 as a non-edge port.

1.1.28 stp max-hops

Syntax

stp max-hops hops

undo stp max-hops

View

System view

Parameters

hops: Maximum hops, in the range of 1 to 40

Description

Use the stp max-hops command to set the maximum hops of the MST region on the device.

Use the undo stp max-hops command to restore the maximum hops to the default setting.

By default, the maximum number of hops of an MST region is 20.

In the CIST and MST instances, the maximum hops setting configured on the regional root bridge determines the maximum network diameter supported by this MST region. After a configuration BPDU leaves the root bridge, its hop count is decremented by 1 whenever it passes a device. When its hop count reaches 0, it will be discarded by the device that has received it. As a result, devices beyond the maximum hop count are unable to take part in spanning tree calculation, and thereby the size of the MST region is limited.

When the current device becomes the root bridge of the CIST or an MSTI, the maximum hops setting configured on the device becomes the network diameter of that spanning tree and restricts the size of that spanning tree in the current MST region.

Devices other than the root bridge in an MST region use the maximum hops setting on the root bridge.

Examples

# Set the maximum hops of the MST region to 35.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp max-hops 35

1.1.29 stp mcheck

Syntax

stp mcheck

View

System view, Ethernet interface view

Parameters

None

Description

Use the stp mcheck command to carry out the mCheck operation globally or on the current port.

In a switched network, if a port on the device running MSTP (or RSTP) connects to a device running STP, this port will automatically migrate to the STP-compatible mode. However, if the device running STP is removed, this will not be able to migrate automatically to the MSTP (or RSTP) mode, but will remain working in the STP-compatible mode. In this case, you can perform an mCheck operation to force the port to migrate to the MSTP (or RSTP) mode.

Note that the stp mcheck command is meaningful only when the device works in the MSTP (or RSTP) mode, not in the STP-compatible mode.

Related commands: stp mode.

In the calculation of the path cost value of an aggregated link, 802.1D-1998 does not take into account the number of ports in the aggregated link, while 802.1T takes the number of ports in the aggregated link into account. The calculation formula is: Path Cost = 200,000,000/link speed (in 100 kbps), where link speed is the sum of the link speed values of the non-blocked ports in the aggregated link.

1.1.33 stp point-to-point

Syntax

stp point-to-point { auto | force-false | force-true }

undo stp point-to-point

View

Ethernet interface view, port group view

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 specify whether the current port(s) connect(s) to a point-to-point link or point-to-point links.

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

The default setting is auto; namely the MSTP-compliant device automatically detects whether an Ethernet port connects to a point-to-point link.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

Note that:

l When connecting to a non-point-to-point link, a port is incapable of rapid state transition.

l If the current port is the master port of a link aggregation group or if it works in full duplex mode, the link to which the current port connects is a point-to-point link. We recommend that you use the default setting, namely let MSTP detect the link status automatically.

l This setting is effective to the CIST and all MST instances. If a port is configured as connecting to a point-to-point link or a non-point-to-point link, the setting takes effect for the port in all MST instances. If the physical link to which the port connects is not a point-to-point link and you force it to be a point-to-point link by configuration, your configuration may incur a temporary loop.

Examples

# Configure port Ethernet 1/0/3 as connecting to a point-to-point link.

Parameters

all: Enables output of port state transition information for all instances.

instance instance-id: Enables output of port state transition information for the specified instance. The effective range of instance-id is 0 to 15, with 0 representing the common internal spanning tree (CIST).

Description

Use the stp port-log command to enable output of port state transition information for the specified instance or all instances.

Use the undo stp port-log command to disable output of port state transition information for the specified instance or all instances.

Whether this function is enabled by default depends on the specific device model.

& Note:

The support for this command varies with device models.

Examples

# Enable output of port state transition information for instance 2.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp port-log instance 2

%Aug 16 00:49:41:856 2006 Sysname MSTP/3/PDISC: Instance 2's Ethernet1/0/1 has been set to discarding state!

%Aug 16 00:49:41:856 2006 Sysname MSTP/3/PFWD: Instance 2's Ethernet1/0/2 has been set to forwarding state!

// The information mentioned above shows that in instance 2 the state of Ethernet 1/0/1 has changed to discarding and that of Ethernet 1/0/2 has changed to forwarding.

1.1.35 stp port priority

Syntax

stp [ instance instance-id ] port priority priority

undo stp [ instance instance-id ] port priority

View

Ethernet interface view, port group view

Parameters

instance instance-id: Sets the priority of the current port(s) in a particular spanning tree instance. The effective range of instance-id is 0 to 15, with 0 representing the common internal spanning tree (CIST).

priority: Port priority, in the range of 0 to 240 at the step of 16 (0, 16, 32…, for example).

Description

Use the stp port priority command to set the priority of the port(s).

Use the undo stp port priority command to restore the system default.

By default, the port priority is 128.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

If you set instance-id to 0, you are setting the priority of the port in the CIST. The priority of a port can affect the role selection of the port in the specified MST instance.

Setting different priorities for the same port in different MST instances allows different VLAN traffic flows to be forwarded along different physical links, thus to enable per-VLAN load balancing.

When the priority of a port is changed, MSTP will re-compute the role of the port and initiate a state transition.

If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST instance only.

Examples

# Set the priority of port Ethernet 1/0/3 in MST instance 2 to 16.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface Ethernet 1/0/3

View

System view

Parameters

instance instance-id: Sets the priority of the device in a particular spanning tree instance. The effective range of instance-id is 0 to 15, with 0 representing the common internal spanning tree (CIST).

priority: Port priority, in the range of 0 to 61440 at the step of 4096, namely you can set up to 16 priority values, such as 0, 4096, 8192…, on the device.

Description

Use the stp priority command to set the priority of the device.

Use the undo stp priority command to restore the default device priority.

By default, the device priority is 32768.

The device priority is involved in spanning tree calculation. The device priority is set on a per-instance basis. An MSTP-compliant device can have different priorities in different MST instances.

If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST instance only.

Parameters

instance instance-id: Configures the device as the root bridge in a particular spanning tree instance. The effective range of instance-id is 0 to 15, with 0 representing the common internal spanning tree (CIST).

bridge-number: Network diameter of the spanning tree, in the range of 2 to 7 and defaulting to 7.

centi-seconds: Hello time (in centiseconds) of the spanning tree, in the range of 100 to 1,000.

Description

Use the stp root primary command to configure the current device as the root bridge.

Use the undo stp root command to restore the system default.

By default, a device is not a root bridge.

Note that:

l If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST instance only.

l There is only one root bridge in effect in a spanning tree instance. If two or more devices have been designated to be root bridges of the same spanning tree instance, MSTP will select the device with the lowest MAC address as the root bridge.

l You can specify a root bridge for each MST instance without caring about the device priority. After specifying the current device as the root bridge or a secondary root bridge, you cannot change the priority of the device.

l When configuring a root bridge, you can use this command to specify the network diameter of the switched network, so that the MSTP-compliant device automatically calculates the three timers (hello time, forward delay and max age). As the calculated hello time value is not the optimal value, you can specify a hello time value by providing hello-time centi-seconds in the command, which will override the hello time value calculated by the device based on the network diameter. Generally, we recommend that you use the values of the other two timers calculated by the device based on the specified network diameter.

l The configured network diameter and hello time settings are effective only for MST instance 0, namely the CIST. If you configure these two timers for any other instance, your configuration can succeed, but they will not actually work.

Examples

# Define the current device as the root bridge of MST instance 0 and set the network diameter to 4 and the hello time of the device to 500 centiseconds.

Parameters

instance instance-id: Configures the device as a secondary root bridge in a particular spanning tree instance. The effective range of instance-id is 0 to 15, with 0 representing the common internal spanning tree (CIST).

bridge-number: Network diameter of the spanning tree, in the range of 2 to 7 and defaulting to 7.

centi-seconds: Hello time (in centiseconds) of the spanning tree, in the range of 100 to 1,000.

Description

Use the stp root secondary command to configure the device as a secondary root bridge.

Use the undo stp root command to restore the system default.

By default, a device is not a secondary root bridge.

Note that:

l If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST instance only.

l You can configure one or more secondary root bridges for each MST instance. When the root bridge of an instance fails or is shut down, the secondary root bridge can take over the role of the instance of the specified MST instance. If you specify more than one secondary root bridge, the secondary root bridge with the lowest MAC address will become the root bridge.

l When configuring a secondary root bridge, you can specify the network diameter of the switched network and the hello time for the secondary root bridge, so that the MSTP-compliant device automatically calculates the other two timers (forward delay and max age) of the root bridge.

l If you set instance-id to 0, you are specifying the current device as the secondary root bridge of the CIST.

l Upon specifying the current device as the root bridge or a secondary root bridge, you cannot change the priority of the device.

1.1.43 stp timer forward-delay

Syntax

stp timer forward-delay centi-seconds

undo stp timer forward-delay

View

System view

Parameters

centi-seconds: Forward delay in centiseconds, in the range of 400 to 3,000.

Description

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

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

By default, the forward delay timer is set to 1,500 centiseconds.

In order to prevent temporary loops, a port must go through an intermediate state, the learning state, before it transitions from the discarding state to the forwarding state, and must wait a certain period of time before it transitions from one state to another to keep synchronized with the remote device during state transition. The forward delay timer set on the root bridge determines the time interval of state transition.

If the current device is the root bridge, the state transition interval of the device depends on the set forward delay value; for a secondary root bridge, its state transition interval is determined by the forward delay timer set on the root bridge.

The setting of the hello time, forward delay and max age timers must meet the following formulae:

l 2 × (forward delay – 1 second) ¦ max age

l Max age ¦ 2 × (hello Time + 1 second)

MSTP can work effectively on the entire network only when the above-mentioned conditions are met; otherwise, network instability will frequently occur. We recommend that you specify the network diameter of the switched network in the stp root primary command and let MSTP automatically calculate an optimal setting of these three timers.

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

undo stp timer hello

View

System view

Parameters

centi-seconds: Hello time (in centiseconds), in the range of 100 to 1,000.

Description

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

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

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

Hello time is the time interval at which MSTP-compliant devices send configuration BPDUs to maintain spanning tree stability. If a device fails to receive configuration BPDUs within the set period of time, a new spanning tree calculation process will be triggered due to timeout. The root bridge sends configuration BPDUs at the interval of the hello time set on the device, while secondary root bridges use the hello time set on the root bridge.

The setting of the hello time, forward delay and max age timers must meet the following formulae:

l 2 × (forward delay – 1 second) ¦ max age

l Max age ¦ 2 × (hello time + 1 second)

Related commands: stp timer forward-delay, stp timer max-age, stp bridge-diameter.

1.1.45 stp timer max-age

Syntax

stp timer max-age centi-seconds

undo stp timer max-age

View

System view

Parameters

centi-seconds: Max age (in centiseconds), in the range of 600 to 4,000.

Description

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

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

By default, the max age is set to 2,000 centiseconds.

MSTP can detect link faults and automatically restore the forwarding state of the redundant link. In the CIST, the device determines whether a configuration BPDU received on a port has expired based on the max age timer. If a port receives a configuration BPDU that has expired, that MST instance needs to be re-computed.

The max age timer is not meaningful for MSTIs. If the current device is the root bridge of the CIST, it determines whether a configuration BPDU has expired based on the configured max age timer; if the current device is not the root bridge of the CIST, it uses the max age timer set on the CIST root bridge.

The setting of the hello time, forward delay and max age timers must meet the following formulae:

l 2 × (forward delay – 1 second) ¦ max age

l Max age ¦ 2 × (hello time + 1 second)

MSTP can work effectively on the entire network only when the above-mentioned conditions are met; otherwise, network instability will frequently occur. We recommend that you specify the network diameter in the stp root primary command and let MSTP automatically calculate an optimal setting of these three timers.

Parameters

number: Timeout factor, in the range of 1 to 20.

Description

Use the stp timer-factor command to configure the timeout time of the device by setting the timeout factor. Timeout time = timeout factor × 3 × hello time.

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

By default, the timeout factor of the device is set to 3.

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

In a very stable network, this kind of spanning tree calculation may occur because the upstream device is busy. In this case, you can avoid such unwanted spanning tree calculation by lengthening the timeout time (by setting the timeout factor to 4 or more). We recommend that you set the timeout factor to 5, or 6, or 7 for a stable network.

# Set the timeout factor of the device to 7.

1.1.47 stp transmit-limit

Syntax

stp transmit-limit packet-number

undo stp transmit-limit

View

Ethernet interface view, port group view

Parameters

packet-number: Maximum number of MSTP packets that the port can send within each hello time, namely the maximum transmission rate of the port, in the range of 1 to 255.

Description

Use the stp transmit-limit command to set the maximum transmission rate of the port(s).

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

By default, the maximum transmission rate of all ports of the device is 10.

Configured in Ethernet interface view, the setting is effective on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting is effective on all ports in the port group.

A larger maximum transmission rate value represents more MSTP packets that the port will send within each hello time, but this means that more device resources will be used. An appropriate maximum transmission rate setting can prevent MSTP from using an excessive bandwidth resource during network topology instability.

Examples

# Set the maximum transmission rate of port Ethernet 1/0/1 to 5.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface Ethernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-Ethernet1/0/1] stp transmit-limit 5

1.1.48 vlan-mapping modulo

Syntax

vlan-mapping modulo modulo

View

MST region view

Parameters

modulo: Modulo value, in the range of 1 to 15.

Description

Use the vlan-mapping modulo command to map VLANs in the current MST region to MST instances according to the specified modulo value.

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

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

& Note:

By using the vlan-mapping modulo command, you can quickly specify a VLAN for each MST instance. This command maps each VLAN to the MST instance 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.
