Configuring The Port Priority; Configuring The Port Link Type; Configuration Restrictions And Guidelines - HP 3100 Series Configuration Manual

# In PVST mode, specify the device to calculate the default path costs of its ports by using IEEE
802.1d-1998, and set the path cost of Ethernet 1/0/3 to 2000 on VLANs 20 through 30.

Configuring the port priority

When the priority of a port changes, MSTP re-calculates the role of the port and initiates a state
transition. The priority of a port is an important factor in determining whether the port can be elected
as the root port of a device. If all other conditions are the same, the port with the highest priority will
be elected as the root port.
On a spanning tree device, a port can have different priorities and play different roles in different
spanning trees, so that data of different VLANs can be propagated along different physical paths,
implementing per-VLAN load balancing. You can set port priority values based on the actual
networking requirements.
To configure the priority of a port or a group of ports:

priority.

Configuring the port link type

A point-to-point link directly connects two devices. If two root ports or designated ports are connected
over a point-to-point link, they can rapidly transition to the forwarding state after a
proposal-agreement handshake process.

Configuration restrictions and guidelines

•
You can configure the link type as point-to-point for a Layer 2 aggregate interface or a port that
operates in full duplex mode. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends you to use the default
setting and let the device to automatically detect the port link type.
•
The stp point-to-point force-false or stp point-to-point force-true command configured on a
port in MSTP or PVST mode is effective for all MSTIs or VLANs.
