MSTP Configuration Commands
active region-configuration
Syntax
active region-configuration
View
MST region view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
None
Description
Use the active region-configuration command to activate your MST region configuration.
When you carry out this command, MSTP will replace the currently running MST region–related parameters with the parameters you have just configured, and will perform spanning tree calculation again.
Related commands: instance, region-name, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo, check region-configuration.
Examples
# Activate MST region configuration manually.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp region-configuration
[Sysname-mst-region] active region-configuration
check region-configuration
Syntax
check region-configuration
View
MST region view
Default Level
2: System level
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-MSTI mapping and revision level settings.
Be sure that your MST region configurations are correct, especially the VLAN-to-MSTI mapping table. As defined in the MSTP protocol, MSTP-enabled devices are in the same MST region only when they have the same format selector (protocol format selector defined in 802.1s, which is 0 by default and unconfigurable), region name, VLAN-to-MSTI mapping table, and MSTP revision level settings. A device will be in a different region if it is different in any of these four 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.

brief: Displays brief information.
Description
Use the display stp command to view the MSTP status information and statistics information.
Based on the MSTP status information and statistics information, you can analyze and maintain the network topology or check whether MSTP is working normally.
Note that:
l If you do not specify any MSTI ID or port list, this command will display the MSTP information on all ports. The displayed information is sequenced by MSTI ID and by port name in each MSTI.
l If you specify an MSTI ID, this command will display the MSTP information on all ports in that MSTI. The displayed information is sequenced by port name.
l If you specify a port list, this command will display the MSTP information on the specified ports. The displayed information is sequenced by MSTI ID, and by port name in each MSTI.
l If you specify both an MSTI ID and a port list, this command will display the MSTP information on the specified ports in the specified MSTI.
The MSTP status information includes:
l CIST global parameters: Protocol work mode, device priority in the CIST (Priority), MAC address, hello time, max age, forward delay, maximum hops, common root of the CIST, external path cost from the device to the CIST common root, regional root, the internal path cost from the device to the regional root, CIST root port of the device, and status of the BPDU guard function (enabled or disabled).
l CIST port parameters: Port status, role, priority, path cost, designated bridge, designated port, edge port/non-edge port, whether connecting to a point-to-point link, maximum transmission rate (transmit limit), status of the root guard function (enabled or disabled), BPDU format, boundary port/non-boundary port, hello time, max age, forward delay, message age, remaining hops, and whether rapid state transition enabled (designated ports).
l MSTI global parameters: MSTI ID, bridge priority of the MSTI, regional root, internal path cost, MSTI root port, and master bridge.
l MSTI port parameters: Port status, role, priority, path cost, designated bridge, designated port, remaining hops, and whether rapid state transition enabled (for designated ports).
The statistics information includes:
l The number of TCN BPDUs, configuration BPDUs, RST BPDUs and MST BPDUs sent from each port
l The number of TCN BPDUs, configuration BPDUs, RST BPDUs, MST BPDUs and wrong BPDUs received on each port
l The number of BPDUs discarded on each port

stp
Syntax
stp { enable | disable }
undo stp
View
System view, Ethernet port view, port group view, Layer-2 aggregate port view
Default Level
2: System level
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.
By default, MSTP is disabled globally. When you enable MSTP globally, it is enabled automatically on all the ports on the device.
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 takes effect for the device globally; configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
Related commands: stp mode.
Examples
# Enable the MSTP feature globally.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp enable
# Disable MSTP on port GigabitEthernet 2/0/1.

stp bridge-diameter
Syntax
stp bridge-diameter bridge-number
undo stp bridge-diameter
View
System view
Default Level
2: System level
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 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. 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.
Examples
# Set the network diameter of the switched network to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp bridge-diameter 5
stp compliance
Syntax
stp compliance { auto | dot1s | legacy }
undo stp compliance
View
Ethernet port view, port group view, Layer-2 aggregate port view
Default Level
2: System level
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 port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
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 the configured format, it will become a designated port and remain in the discarding state to prevent the occurrence of a loop.
Examples
# Configure Ethernet 1/1 to receive and send only standard-format (802.1s) MSTP packets.
<Sysname>system-view
[Sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 2/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] stp compliance dot1s
# Restore the default mode for port Ethernet 1/1 to recognize and send MSTP BPDUs.

stp config-digest-snooping
Syntax
stp config-digest-snooping
undo stp config-digest-snooping
View
System view, Ethernet port view, port group view, Layer-2 aggregate port view
Default Level
2: System level
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.
Note that:
l Configured in system view, the setting takes effect globally; configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
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 ports to avoid loops.
Examples
# Enable Digest Snooping globally.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] stp config-digest-snooping
# Enable Digest Snooping on GigabitEthernet 2/0/1.

l With the IEEE 802.1t standard selected for path cost calculation, the cost argument ranges from 1 to 200000000.
l With the proprietary 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 port(s) in the specified MSTI or all MSTIs.
Use the undo stp cost command to restore the system default.
By default, the device automatically calculates the path costs of ports in each MSTI based on the corresponding standard.
l Configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
l 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 MSTIs allows different VLAN traffic flows to be forwarded along different physical links, thus to enable VLAN-based 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.
l If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST instance only.

Parameters
enable: Configures the current port(s) to be an edge port or edge ports.
disable: Configures the current port(s) to be a non-edge port or non-edge ports.
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 port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
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 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.

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.
The maximum hops configured in an MST region limit the size of the MST region. In an MST region, the maximum hops configured on the regional root bridge are the maximum hops of this MST region. After a configuration BPDU leaves the root bridge, its hop count is decremented by 1 each time it passes a device. When its hop count reaches 0, it will be discarded by the device that 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.
Devices other than the root bridge in an MST region use the maximum hops setting on the root bridge.

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

Default Level
2: System level
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, the port 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:
l The stp mcheck command is meaningful only when the device works in the MSTP (or RSTP-compatible) mode, not in the STP-compatible mode.
l Configured in system view, the setting takes effect globally; configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.

When calculating path cost for an aggregate port, 802.1D-1998 does not take into account the number of member ports in its aggregation group as 802.1T does. 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 aggregation group.

Default Level
2: System level
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) is/are connected 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-enabled device automatically detects whether an Ethernet port connects to a point-to-point link.
Note that:
l Configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
l When connecting to a non-point-to-point link, a port is incapable of rapid state transition.
l If the current port is a Layer-2 aggregate port 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 takes effect on the CIST and all MSTIs. 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 MSTIs. 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.

priority: Port priority, in the range of 0 to 240 in steps 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.
Note that:
l Configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
l 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 MSTI.
l Setting different priorities for the same port in different MSTIs allows different VLAN traffic flows to be forwarded along different physical links, thus to enable VLAN-based load balancing.
l When the priority of a port is changed in an MSTI, MSTP will re-compute the role of the port and initiate a state transition in the MSTI.
l If you do not provide instance instance-id, your configuration will take effect in the CIST only.

Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
centi-seconds: Forward delay in centiseconds, ranging form 400 to 3000 in steps of 100.
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 settings 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, topology changes 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 optimal settings of these three timers.
Related commands: stp timer hello, stp timer max-age, stp bridge-diameter.

Parameters
centi-seconds: Hello time (in centiseconds), ranging from 100 to 1000 in steps of 100.
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-enabled devices send configuration BPDUs to maintain spanning tree. 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 settings 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)

Parameters
centi-seconds: Max age (in centiseconds), ranging from 600 to 4000 in steps of 100.
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 failures 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 MSTI 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 settings 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, topology changes 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.
Related commands: stp timer forward-delay, stp timer hello, stp bridge-diameter.

# Set the max age timer of the device to 1,000 centiseconds.

View
System view
Default Level
2: System level
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 calculations 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.
Examples
# Set the timeout factor of the device to 7.

[Sysname] stp timer-factor 7
stp transmit-limit
Syntax

undo stp transmit-limit
View
Ethernet port view, port group view, Layer-2 aggregate port view
Default Level
2: System level
Parameters
packet-number: Maximum number of MSTP packets that the port(s) 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.
Note that:
l Configured in port view, the setting takes effect on the current port only; configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all ports in the port group.
l Configured in Layer-2 aggregate port view, the setting takes effect only on the aggregate port. Configured on the member port in an aggregation group, the setting can take effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group. For detailed information about link aggregation, refer to Link Aggregation Configuration in the Access Volume.
l 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 excessive bandwidth resources during network topology changes.
Examples
# Set the maximum transmission rate of port GigabitEthernet 2/0/1 to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 2/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet2/0/1] 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, ranging from 1 to 31.
Description
Use the vlan-mapping modulo command to map VLANs in the current MST region to MSTIs according to the specified modulo value.
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.
By using the vlan-mapping modulo command, you can quickly specify a VLAN for each MSTI. 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.
Related commands: region-name, revision-level, check region-configuration, active region-configuration.

# Map VLANs to MSTIs as per modulo 8.
