SET SPANTREE HELLO_ADDRESS
Use the SET SPANTREE HELLO_ADDRESS command to modify the MAC
address which the Bridge Module uses for its spanning tree hello address.
Format
SET SPANTREE HELLO_ADDRESS {MAC address}
Parameters
{MAC address} = XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
Example
OEBM> set spantree hello_address 08-00-8f-10-13-56 [ENTER]
Spanning tree parameters changed
Description
The SET SPANTREE HELLO_ADDRESS command enables you to change the
MAC address which the Bridge Module uses for its spanning tree hello
address. Modifying the spanning tree hello address enables you to create
multiple spanning tree multicast domains.
The MAC address for this command must be entered in the following
format:
XX-XX-XX-XX-XX-XX
Note that this address must be a multicast address. Any address other than
a multicast address will not be accepted.
Note: Using an address (other than the default spanning tree
hello address 01-80-C2-00-00-00) from the IEEE 802.1(d)
reserved multicast addresses as the new spantree hello
address may cause subsequent network problems in a
bridged subnetwork. This is because all IEEE
802.1(d)-compliant bridges in your network will not bridge
these IEEE 802.1(d) reserved multicast addresses.
