Release M.10.38 Enhancements

point-to-point-mac <true false auto >

This parameter informs the switch of the type of device to which a specific port connects.

True (default): Indicates a point-to-point link to a device such as a switch, bridge, or end-node.

False: Indicates a connection to a hub (which is a shared LAN segment).

Auto: Causes the switch to set False on the port if it is not running at full duplex. (Connections to hubs are half-duplex.)

priority < 0..15 >

MSTP uses this parameter to determine the port(s) to use for forwarding. The port with the lowest assigned value has the highest priority. While the actual priority range is 0 to 240, this command specifies the priority as a multiplier (0-15) of 16. That is, when you specify a priority multiplier of 0-15, the actual priority assigned to the switch is:

(priority-multiplier) x 16 = priority The default priority-multiplier value is 8.

For example, if you configure “2” as the priority multiplier for a given port, then the actual priority is 32. Thus, after you specify the port priority multiplier, the switch displays the actual port priority (and not the multiplier) in the show spanning-tree config display. You can view the actual multiplier setting for ports by executing show running and looking for an entry in this form:

spanning-tree <port-list> priority <priority-multiplier>

For example, configuring port 2 with a priority multiplier of “3” results in this line in the show running-configoutput:

spanning-tree B2 priority 3
