Stp Pathcost-Standard - 3Com 7750 Series Command Reference Manual

3Com Switch 7750 Series
Command Reference Guide – MSTP
Description
Use the stp no-agreement-check command to enable the rapid transition feature for a
port.
Use the stp no-agreement-check command to disable the rapid transition feature.
By default, the rapid transition feature is disabled on a port.
Some manufactures' switches adopt proprietary spanning tree protocols that are
similar to RSTP in the way to implement rapid transition on designated ports. When a
switch of this kind operates as the upstream switch of an Switch 7750 series switch
running MSTP, the upstream designated port fails to change their states rapidly.
The rapid transition feature aims to resolve this problem. When an Switch 7750 series
switch running MSTP is connected in the upstream direction to a manufacture's switch
running proprietary spanning tree protocol, you can enable the rapid transition feature
on the ports of the Switch 7750 series switch operating as the downstream switch.
Among these ports, those operating as the root ports will then send agreement packets
to their upstream ports after they receive proposal packets from the upstream
designated ports, instead of waiting for agreement packets from the upstream switch.
This enables designated ports of the upstream switch to change their states rapidly.
Related command: stp interface no-agreement-check.
Note:
The rapid transition feature can be enabled on root ports or alternate ports only.
If you configure the rapid transition feature on the designated port, the feature does
not take effect on the port.
