13.2 Configuring RSTP through the Command Line Interface

13.2.1 Normal RSTP

The commands to setup and configure RSTP are as follows. The set stp command sets the switch to support RSTP or STP. It is necessary to save and reboot the switch after this command.

set stp type=<stprstp> -

The rstp command enters the RSTP configuration mode and enables/disabled RSTP. By default, RSTP is disabled and has to be manually activated.

rstp

rstp <enabledisable>

The syntax for the port command on RSTP is shown below.

port port=<numberlistrange> [status=<enabledisable>] [migration=<enable>] [edge=<enabledisable>] [p2p=<onoffauto>]

The p2p parameter sets the “point-to-point” value to off on all ports connected to shared LAN segments (i.e. connections to hubs). The default value is auto. P2P ports would typically be end stations or computers on the network.

The edge parameter enables/disables all ports connected to other hubs, bridges and switches as edge ports.

The migration parameter is set for all ports connected to devices such as hubs, bridges and switches known to support IEEE 802.1d STP services but not RSTP services

The show active-stpcommand displays whether STP or RSTP is running.

show active-stp

The show stp command display the RSTP or STP parameters.

show stp <configports>

Users may notice extended recovery time if there is a mix of firmware revisions in the Mesh or Ring
