Configuring Basic Port Connectivity Parameters

The following commands must be entered on a port-by-port basis within the
interface configuration context. For example, to set the message transmission
interval on port 1 of slot 5, you would first enter the interface context and then
enter the configuration command.
ProCurve(config)# int gig 5/1
Enters interface-based configuration context for port 1 in slot 5.
ProCurve(config-interface-gig5/1)#spanning-tree hello-time 10
Sets message transmission interval on port 5/1 to 10 seconds.
Configuring port parameters (for example, edge-port, hello-time, and path-
cost) without enabling spanning-tree on a port moves the individual port to a
blocking state. To prevent this behavior, spanning-tree must first be explicity
enabled on the port.
Interface Configuration Command
spanning-tree
enable
edge-port
mcheck
hello-time < global | 1..10 >
spanning-tree path-cost < auto | 200000000 >
spanning-tree point-to-point-mac < force-true | force-false | auto>
spanning-tree priority <priority-multiplier>
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 non-
default setting is clearly indicated by the circumstances of individual links.
Syntax: [no] spanning-tree enable
Enable spanning tree on this interface. (Default: No - disabled)
