Configuring Rapid Reconfiguration Spanning Tree (RSTP)
Reconfiguringone or more of the following parameters, which affect the spanning tree operation of the whole switch:
TableParameter | Default | Description |
|
|
|
RSTP | Identifies which of the spanning tree protocols will be used when spanning tree | |
|
| is enabled on the switch. |
|
|
|
Sets the spanning tree compatibility mode. Even if | ||
|
| though, if the switch detects STP BPDU packets on a port, it will communicate |
|
| to the attached device using STP BPDU packets. |
|
| If errors are encountered, as described in the Note on page 12, the Force- |
|
| Version value can be set to |
|
| communicate out all ports using operations that are compatible with IEEE 802.1D |
|
| STP. |
|
|
|
priority | 32768 | Specifies the protocol value used along with the switch MAC address to |
| (8 as a step value) determine which device in the spanning tree is the root. The lower the priority | |
|
| value, the higher the priority. |
|
| The value you enter has changed from the STP value. The range is 0 - 61440, but |
|
| for RSTP the value is entered as a multiple (a step) of 4096. You enter a value in |
|
| the range 0 - 15. The default value of 32768 is derived by the default setting of 8. |

|
|
|
20 seconds | Sets the maximum age of received spanning tree information before it is | |
|
| discarded. The range is 6 to 40 seconds. |
|
|
|
2 seconds | Sets the time between transmission of spanning tree messages. Used only when | |
|
| this switch is the root. The range is 1 to 10 seconds. |
|
|
|
15 seconds | Sets the time the switch waits between transitioning ports from listening to | |
|
| learning and from learning to forwarding states. The range is 4 to 30 seconds. |
