Configuring The Port Link Type; Configuring The Mode A Port Uses To Recognize/Send Mstp Packets - HP 3600 v2 series Configuration Manual

To do...
Configure the port priority (in STP/RSTP
mode)
Configure the port priority (in PVST mode)
Configure the port priority (in MSTP mode)
NOTE:
When the priority of a port changes, MSTP re-calculates the role of the port and initiates a state transition.

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.
Follow these steps to configure the link type of a port or a group of ports:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter
interface
view or port
group view
Configure the port link type
NOTE:
You can configure the link type as point-to-point for a Layer 2 aggregate interface or a port that works
•
in full duplex mode. HP 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.
• If the physical link to which the port connects is not a point-to-point link but you set it to be one, the
configuration might bring a temporary loop.
Configuring the mode a port uses to recognize/send MSTP
packets
A port can receive/send MSTP packets in the following formats:
• dot1s—802.1s-compliant standard format
legacy—Compatible format
•
Enter Layer 2 Ethernet
interface view or Layer 2
aggregate interface view
Enter port group view
Use the command...
stp port priority priority
stp vlan vlan-list port priority priority
stp [ instance instance-id ] port
priority priority
Use the command...
system-view
interface interface-type
interface-number
port-group manual
port-group-name
stp point-to-point { auto
| force-false |
force-true }
