Configuration procedure

Follow these steps to configure the timeout time factor:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Enter system view system-view
Configure the timeout time
factor for the device stp timer-factor number Required
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
transmitting speed for specified
ports
stp interface interface-list
transmit-limit packetnum
Required
The maximum transmitting
speed of all Ethernet ports on a
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
Configure the maximum
transmitting speed stp transmit-limit packetnum
Required
The maximum transmitting
speed of all Ethernet ports on a
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.
