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 you activate the MST region–related parameters by using the active region-configuration command or enable the spanning tree feature by using the stp enable command.

H3C recommends you to use the check region-configuration command to determine whether the MST region configurations to be activated are correct. Run this command only when they are correct.

Examples

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

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp region-configuration

[Sysname-mst-region] instance 1 vlan 2

[Sysname-mst-region] active region-configuration

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

Usage guidelines

The MSTP revision level, the MST region name, and the VLAN-to-instance mapping table of a device determine the device's MST region. When the MST region name and VLAN-to-instance mapping table are both the same for two MST regions, they can still be differentiated by their MSTP revision levels.

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

Examples

# Set the MSTP revision level of the MST region to 5.

Default command level

2: System level

Parameters

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

Usage guidelines

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 timers will also be set to their defaults.

In STP, RSTP, or MSTP mode, 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.

Examples

# In MSTP mode, set the network diameter of the switched network to 5.

Configured on a member port in an aggregation group, the setting takes effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group.

Enable this feature both globally and on ports connected to other vendors' devices to make it effective. To minimize impact, enable the feature on all associated ports before you enable it globally.

When Digest Snooping is globally enabled, if you modify the VLAN-to-instance mapping or use the undo stp region-configuration command to restore the default MST region configuration, traffic may be interrupted because the local VLAN-to-instance mapping is different from that on a neighbor device. Perform these operations with caution.

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all member 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 takes effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group.

To set the path cost of an MSTP port in a specific MSTI, use this command with the MSTI specified. To set the path cost of an MSTP port in the CIST or an STP or RSTP port, use this command without specifying any MSTI.

The path cost setting of a port can affect the role selection of the port. When the path cost of a port is changed, the system re-calculates the role of the port and initiates a state transition.

Parameters

enable: Configures one or more ports as edge ports.

disable: Configures one or more ports as non-edge ports.

Usage guidelines

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

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all member 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 takes effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group.

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. You can enable the port to transition to the forwarding state rapidly by configuring it as an edge port. H3C recommends you to configure ports directly connecting to user terminals as edge ports.

Typically, configuration BPDUs from other devices cannot reach an edge port, because the edge port does not connect to any other device. If a port receives a configuration BPDU when the BPDU guard function is disabled, the port functions as a non-edge port, even if you configure it as an edge port.

You cannot configure edge port settings and loop guard on a port at the same time.

Examples

# Configure GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 as an edge port.

stp mcheck

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

Syntax

stp mcheck

Views

System view, Ethernet interface view, Layer 2 aggregate interface view

Default command level

2: System level

Usage guidelines

If a port on a device that runs MSTP or RSTP mode connects to an STP device, the port will automatically transition to the STP mode. It cannot automatically transition back to the original mode when:

· The STP device is shut down or removed.

· The STP device transitions to the MSTP or RSTP mode.

Then, you can perform an mCheck operation to forcibly transition the port to operation in the original mode.

Suppose Device A running STP, Device B with no spanning tree feature enabled, and Device C running RSTP or MSTP are connected in order. Device B will transparently transmit STP BPDUs, and the port on Device C and connecting to Device B will transition to the STP mode. After you enable the spanning tree feature on Device B, to run RSTP or MSTP between Device B and Device C, you must perform an mCheck operation on the ports interconnecting Device B and Device C, in addition to configuring the spanning tree to operate in RSTP or MSTP mode on Device B.

The device operates in STP, RSTP, or MSTP mode depending on the spanning tree mode setting.

The stp mcheck command is effective only when the device operates in MSTP or RSTP mode.

Parameters

time: Sets the forward delay (in 0.01 seconds), ranging from 400 to 3000 in increments of 100 (as indicated by 400, 500, 600).

Usage guidelines

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 that you 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.

Examples

# In MSTP mode, set the forward delay timer to 20 seconds.

2: System level

Parameters

time: Sets the hello time (in 0.01 seconds), ranging from 100 to 1000 in increments of 100 (as indicated by 100, 200, 300).

Usage guidelines

Hello time is the time interval at which spanning tree 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.

H3C does not recommend that you 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.

Examples

# In MSTP mode, set the hello time to 4 seconds.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp timer hello 400

stp timer max-age

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

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

Syntax

Parameters

time: Sets the max age (in 0.01 seconds), ranging from 600 to 4000 in increments of 100 (as indicated by 600, 700, 800).

Usage guidelines

In the CIST of an MSTP network, the device 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 that you 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.

Examples

# In MSTP mode, set the max age timer to 10 seconds.

stp timer-factor

Use stp timer-factor to configure the timeout time by setting the timeout factor.

Use undo stp timer-factor to restore the default.

Syntax

stp timer-factor factor

undo stp timer-factor

Default

The timeout factor of the device is set to 3.

Default command level

2: System level

Parameters

factor: Sets the timeout factor, ranging from 1 to 20.

Usage guidelines

Timeout time = timeout factor × 3 × hello time.

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. 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 stable network, this kind of spanning tree calculation may occur because the upstream device is busy. You can avoid such unwanted spanning tree calculations by lengthening the timeout time (by setting the timeout factor to 4 or more), saving the network resources. H3C recommends you to set the timeout factor to 5, 6, or 7, for a stable network.

Examples

# Set the timeout factor of the device to 7.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp timer-factor 7

stp transmit-limit

Use stp transmit-limit to set the maximum number of BPDUs that the ports can send within each hello time.

Use undo stp transmit-limit to restore the default.

Syntax

stp transmit-limit limit

undo stp transmit-limit

Default

The maximum transmission rate of all ports is 10. Each port can send up to 10 BPDUs within each hello time.

Views

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

Default command level

2: System level

Parameters

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

Usage guidelines

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

Configured in port group view, the setting takes effect on all member 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 takes effect only after the port leaves the aggregation group.

A larger maximum transmission rate value requires more system resources. An appropriate maximum transmission rate setting can prevent spanning tree protocols from using excessive bandwidth resources during network topology changes. H3C recommends you to use the default value.

Examples

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

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] interface GigabitEthernet 1/0/1

[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] stp transmit-limit 5

vlan-mapping modulo

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

Syntax

vlan-mapping modulo modulo

Default

All VLANs are mapped to the CIST (MSTI 0).

Views

MST region view

Default command level

2: System level

Parameters

modulo: Sets the modulo value. The minimum value is 1, and the maximum value is 15.

Usage guidelines

You cannot map a 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.

Examples

# Map VLANs to MSTIs as per modulo 8.

<Sysname> system-view

[Sysname] stp region-configuration

[Sysname-mst-region] vlan-mapping modulo 8
