Enterasys Networks 9034313-07 manual Set spantree lpcapablepartner, Show spantree lpcapablepartner

set spantree lpcapablepartner

set spantree lpcapablepartner

Use this command to specify per port whether the link partner is Loop Protect capable. See “Loop Protect” on page 2. for more information.

Syntax

set spantree lpcapablepartner port-string{true false}

Parameters

port‐string	Specifies port(s) for which to configure a Loop Protect capable link
	partner.
true false	Specifies whether the link partner is capable (true) or not (false).

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Usage

The default value for Loop Protect capable partner is false. If the port is configured with a Loop Protect capable partner (true), then the full functionality of the Loop Protect feature is used. If the value is false, then there is some ambiguity as to whether an Active Partner timeout is due to a loop protection event or is a normal situation due to the fact that the partner port does not transmit Alternate Agreement BPDUs. Therefore, a conservative approach is taken in that designated ports will not be allowed to forward unless receiving agreements from a port with root role.

This type of timeout will not be considered a loop protection event. Loop protection is maintained by keeping the port from forwarding but since this is not considered a loop event it will not be factored into locking the port.

Example

This example shows how to set the Loop Protect capable partner to true for ge.1.1:

C3(rw)->set spantree lpcapablepartner ge.1.1 true

show spantree lpcapablepartner

Use this command to the Loop Protect capability of a link partner for one or more ports.

Syntax

show spantree lpcapablepartner [port port-string]

Parameters

port‐string	(Optional) Specifies port(s) for which to display Loop Protect capability
	for its link partner.
