HP 5300XL, 5304XL, 5348XL hello-time, maximum-age, Table 13-4.Per-PortSTP Parameters, Reconfiguring Per-PortSTP Operation on the Switch. This command

802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) 802.1p Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)

N o t e	Executing spanning-treealone enables STP. Executing spanning-tree with one
	or more of the above “STP Operating Parameters” does not enable STP. It only
	configures the STP parameters (regardless of whether STP is actually running
	(enabled) on the switch).
	Syntax:	spanning-tree
		priority <0 - 65355>
		maximum-age <6 - 40 seconds>
		hello-time <1 - 10 seconds>
		forward-delay <4 - 30 seconds>
	Default:	See table 13-3,above.

For example, to configure a maximum-ageof 30 seconds and a hello-timeof 3 seconds for STP:

HPswitch(config)# spanning-tree maximum-age 30 hello-time 3

Reconfiguring Per-Port STP Operation on the Switch. This command

enables STP (if not already enabled) and configures the following per-port parameters:

Table 13-4.Per-Port STP Parameters

Name	Default		Range	Function
path-cost	Ethernet:	100	1 - 65535	Assigns an individual port cost that the switch uses
	10/100Tx:	10		to determine which ports are the forwarding ports.
	100 Fx:	10
	Gigabit:	5
priority	128		0 - 255	Used by STP to determine the port(s) to use for
				forwarding. The port with the lowest number has
				the highest priority.
mode	norm		norm	Specifies whether a port progresses through the
			- or -	listening, learning, and forwarding (or blocking)
			fast	states (“norm” mode) or transitions directly to the
			- or -	forwarding state (“fast” mode).
			uplink	• For information on when to use Fast mode, see
				“STP Fast Mode” on page 13-26.)

• For information on Uplink mode, see “Fast- Uplink Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)” on page 13-27

You can also include STP general parameters in this command. See “Recon­ figuring General STP Operation on the Switch” on page 13-24.
