Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation

Configuring MSTP

Configuring MSTP Per-Port Parameters

In an MSTP topology, you configure per-port parameters in the global configuration context.

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 non-default setting is clearly indicated by the circumstances of individual links. Some port parameters (such as admin-edge-port) affect all MSTI instances that consist of VLANs configured on the port; other port parameters (such as path-cost) affect only the specified MST.

Configuring Per Port Parameters

Syntax: [no] spanning-tree <port-list> admin-edge-port

Enable admin-edge-porton ports connected to end nodes. During spanning tree establishment, ports with admin- edge-portenabled transition immediately to the forwarding state. If a bridge or switch is detected on the segment, the port automatically operates as non-edge, not enabled. (Default: No - disabled)

If admin-edge-portis disabled on a port and auto-edge-porthas not been disabled, the auto-edge-portsetting controls the behavior of the port.

The no spanning-tree < port-list> admin-edge-port command disables edge-port operation on the specified ports.
