Configuring MSTP 263
After configured with BPDU protection, the switch will disable the edge port
through MSTP, which receives a BPDU, and notifies the network manager at the
same time. These ports can be resumed by the network manager only.
The port configured with root protection only plays the role of designated port on
every instance. Whenever such a port receives a higher-priority BPDU, that is, it is
about to turn into non-designated port, it will be set to listening state and will not
forward packets any more (as if the link to the port is disconnected). If the port has
not received any higher-priority BPDU for a certain period of time thereafter, it will
resume the normal state.
When you configure a port, only one configuration at a time can be effective
among loop protection, root protection, and edge port configuration.
By default, the switch does not enable BPDU protection, root protection, or edge
port protection.
For more about the configuration commands, see the Switch 8800 Command
Reference Guide.
Enabling MSTP on the
Device
You can use the following command to enable MSTP on the device.
Perform the following configuration in system view.
Only if MSTP has been enabled on the device will other MSTP configurations take
effect.
By default, MSTP is disabled.
Enabling or Disabling
MSTP on a Port
You can use the following command to enable or disable MSTP on a port. You
may disable MSTP on some Ethernet ports of a switch to spare them from
spanning tree calculation. This measure flexibly controls MSTP operation and saves
the CPU resources of the switch.
MSTP can be enabled/disabled on a port the following ways.
