Configuring the Hello Time

Chapter 7 Configuring STP and RSTP on the ML-Series Card

Configuring STP and RSTP Features

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch priority of a bridge group:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
Step 1	ML_Series# configure terminal	Enters the global configuration mode.
Step 2
Step 2	ML_Series(config)# bridge	Configures the switch priority of a bridge group.
	bridge-group-number priority	For priority, the range is 0 to 61440 in increments of 4096; the
	priority-number
		default is 32768. The lower the number, the more likely the switch
		will be chosen as the root switch.
		The value entered is rounded to the lower multiple of 4096. The
		actual number is computed by adding this number to the bridge
		group number.
Step 3
Step 3	ML_Series(config)# end	Return to the privileged EXEC mode.

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group-numberpriority priority-numbercommand.

Change the hello time to configure the interval between the generation of configuration messages by the root switch.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the hello time of a bridge group:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
Step 1	ML_Series# configure terminal	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
Step 2	ML_Series(config)# bridge	Configures the hello time of a bridge group. The hello time is
	bridge-group-number hello-time	the interval between the generation of configuration
	seconds	messages by the root switch. These messages mean that the
		messages by the root switch. These messages mean that the
		switch is alive.
		For seconds, the range is 1 to 10; the default is 2.
Step 3
Step 3	ML_Series(config)# end	Returns to privileged EXEC mode.

To return the switch to its default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group-numberhello-timeseconds command. The number for seconds should be the same number as configured in the original command.
