■ Configuring the Path Cost of a Port
■ Configuring the Priority of a Port
■ Configuring the Port Connection with the Point-to-Point Link
■ Configuring the mCheck Variable of a Port
■ Configuring the Switch Security Function
■ Enabling MSTP on the Device
■ Enabling or Disabling MSTP on a Port
■ Displaying and Debugging MSTP
Only after MSTP is enabled on the device will other configurations take effect.
Before enabling MSTP, you can configure the related parameters of the device and
Ethernet ports. The configuration of the related parameters and Ethernet ports will
take effect upon enabling MSTP, and stay effective even after resetting MSTP.
The display stp-region-configuration command shows the parameters that
are configured before MSTP is enabled. To display parameters configured after
MSTP is enabled, you can use the related
display commands. For detailed
information, see
“Displaying and Debugging MSTP” on page 205.
You do not have to perform all these tasks to configure MSTP. Many of them are
designed to adjust the MSTP parameters provided with default values. You can
configure these parameters depending on your actual conditions or simply take
the defaults. For more detailed information, refer to the task description or to the
command descriptions in the Switch 7750 Command Reference Guide.
When GVRP and MSTP start up on the switch simultaneously, GVRP packets will
propagate along CIST, which is a spanning tree instance. In this case, if you want
to issue a certain VLAN through GVRP on the network, you should make sure that
the VLAN is mapped to CIST when configuring the VLAN mapping table of MSTP.
CIST is spanning tree instance 0.
Configuring the MST
Region for a Switch
The MST region that a switch belongs to is determined with the configurations of
the region name, VLAN mapping table, and MSTP revision level. You can perform
the following configurations to put a switch into an MST region.
Tasks for configuring the MST Region for a Switch is described in the following
sections:
■ Entering MST region view
■ Configuring the MST Region
■ Activating the MST Region Configuration and Exiting the MST Region View
Entering MST region view
Perform the following configuration in system view.
