Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation

802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)

Syntax: spanning-tree hello-time < 1..10 >

If MSTP is running and the switch is operating as the CIST root for your network, this command specifies the time in seconds between transmissions of BPDUs for all ports on the switch configured with Use Global (the default). This parameter applies in MSTP, RSTP and STP modes. During MSTP operation, you can override this global setting on a per- port basis with this command: spanning-tree < port-list> hello-

time < 1..10 > (page 22). (Default: 2.)

Syntax: spanning-tree legacy-mode

Set spanning tree protocol to operate either in 802.1d legacy mode or in 802.1s native mode.

Syntax: spanning-tree legacy-path-cost

Set 802.1d (legacy) or 802.1t (not legacy) default pathcost values.

Configuring MSTP Per Port

The basic port connectivity parameters affect spanning-tree links at the global level. In most cases, ProCurve recommends that you use the default settings for these parameters and apply changes on a per-port basis only where a nondefault setting is clearly indicated by the circumstances of individual links.
