Configuring Rapid Reconfiguration Spanning Tree (RSTP)
Note
Executing the spanning-tree command alone enables Spanning Tree. Executing the command with
one or more of the whole-switch RSTP parameters shown in the table on the previous page, or with
any of the per-port RSTP parameters shown in the table on page 144, does not enable Spanning Tree.
It only configures the Spanning Tree parameters, regardless of whether Spanning Tree is actually
running (enabled) on the switch.
Using this facility, you can completely configure Spanning Tree the way you want and then enable it.
This method minimizes the impact on the network operation.
Multiple parameters can be included on the same command line. For example, to configure a
maximum-age of 30 seconds and a hello-time of 3 seconds, you would issue the following command:
HP 2524 (config)# span max 30 hello 3
