SET MSTP
Syntax
set mstp [default]
[forceversion=stpcompatible|forcestpcompatible|
normalmstp] [hellotime=hellotime]
[forwarddelay=forwarddelay] [maxage=maxage]
[maxhops=maxhops] [configname=”name”]
[revisionlevel=number]
Parameters
default Disables MSTP and returns all bridge and port MSTP
settings to the default values. This parameter cannot
be used with any other parameter. (This parameter
performs the same function as the RESET MSTP
command.) The spanning tree protocol must be
disabled to use this parameter.
forceversion Controls whether the bridge will operate with
MSTP or in an STP-compatible mode. If you select
MSTP, the bridge will operate all ports in MSTP,
except for those ports that receive STP or RSTP
BPDU packets. If you select STP Compatible or
Force STP Compatible, the bridge uses its MSTP
parameter settings, but sends only STP BPDU
packets from the ports
The options are:
stpcompatible The bridge uses the MSTP
parameter settings, but
transmits only STP BPDU
packets from the ports. This
option is equivalent to the
FORCESTPCOMPATIBLE
option.
forcestpcompatible The bridge uses the MSTP
parameter settings, but
transmits only STP BPDU
packets from the ports. This
option is equivalent to the
STPCOMPATIBLE option.
