Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to configure the timeout time factor:

 

To do…

 

Use the command…

Remarks

 

Enter system view

Configure the timeout time

 

stp timer-factor number

factor for the device

 

The timeout time factor defaults to 3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For a steady network, the timeout time can be five to seven times of the hello time.

Configuration example

# Configure the timeout time factor to be 6.

<device> system-view

[device] stp timer-factor 6

Configuring the Maximum Transmitting Speed on the Current Port

The maximum transmitting speed of a port specifies the maximum number of configuration BPDUs a port can transmit in a period specified by the hello time parameter. It depends on the physical state of the port and network structure. You can configure this parameter according to the network.

Configure the maximum transmitting speed for specified ports in system view

Follow these steps to configure the maximum transmitting speed for specified ports in system view:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

 

 

 

Configure the maximum

 

Required

stp interface interface-list

The maximum transmitting

device defaults to 10.

 

 

 

 

 

Configure the maximum transmitting speed in Ethernet port view

Follow these steps to configure the maximum transmitting speed in Ethernet port view:

To do…

Use the command…

Remarks

Enter system view

system-view

 

 

 

Enter Ethernet port view

interface interface-type

interface-number

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Required

Configure the maximum

stp transmit-limit packetnum

The maximum transmitting

device defaults to 10.

 

 

 

As the maximum transmitting speed parameter determines the number of the configuration BPDUs transmitted in each hello time, set it to a proper value to prevent MSTP from occupying too many network resources. The default value is recommended.
