MAGNUM 6K SWITCHES, MNS-6K USER GUIDE
List of commands in this chapter
Syntax set stp type=<stp|rstp> - Set the switch to support RSTP or change it back to STP. Need to save
and reboot the switch after this command
Syntax rstp – enter the RSTP configuration mode
Syntax rstp <enable|disable> - enable RSTP – by default, this is disabled and has to be manually
activated
Syntax port port=<number|list|range> [status=<enable|disable>]
[migration=<enable>] [edge=<enable|disable>] [p2p=<on|off|auto>]
- set the
port type for RSTP
Example port port=<number|list|range> p2p= off - Set the “point-to-point” value to off on
all ports that are connected to
shared LAN segments
(i.e. connections to hubs). The default
value is auto. P2P ports would typically be end stations or computers on the network
Example port port=<number|list|range> edge=enable – enable all ports connected to
other hubs, bridges and switches as edge ports
Example port port=<number|list|range> migration=enable – set this for all ports
connected to other devices such as hubs, bridges and switches known to support IEEE 802.1d
STP services, but cannot support RSTP services
Syntax show active-stp – status whether STP or RSTP is running
Syntax show rstp <config|ports> - display the RSTP or STP parameters
Syntax forceversion <stp|rstp> - set the STP or RSTP compatibility mode
Syntax show-forceversion - the current force version
Syntax show-timers - show the values of the timers set for RSTP
Syntax priority [port=<number|list|range>] value=<0-255 | 0-65535> - specifies the port or
switch level priority. When a port(s) are specified the priority is associated with ports and their value is 0-
255. If no ports are specified, then the switch (bridge) priority is specified and its value is 0-65535
Syntax cost port=<number|list|range> value=<0-65535> - cost is specific to a port and the port(s)
have to be specified
Syntax port port=<number|list|range> status=<enable|disable> - specific ports may not need to
participate in STP process. These ports typically would be end-stations. If you are not sure – let MNS-6K
software make the decisions
