Parameters
Used to setup STP on the Switch.
config stp {maxage <value 6-40> | hellotime
<value 1-10> | forwarddelay <4-30> | priority
<value 1-65535> | fbpdu [enable | disable]}
This command is used to setup the Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP) for the entire Switch.
maxage <value 6-40> - The value may be set to
ensure that old information does not endlessly
circulate through redundant paths in the network,
preventing the effective propagation of the new
information. Set by the Root Bridge, this value
will aid in determining that the Switch has
spanning tree configuration values consistent
with other
devices on the bridged LAN. If the value ages out
and a BPDU has still not been received from the
Root Bridge, the Switch will sending its own
BPDU to all other switches for permission
become the Root Bridge. If it turns on that your
switch has the lowest Bridge identifier, it will
become the Root Bridge. The user may choose a
time between 6 and 40 seconds. The default
value is 20.
hellotime <value 1-10> - The user may set the
time
interval
configuration messages by the root device, thus
stating that the Switch is still functioning. A time
between 1 and 10 seconds may be chosen, with
a default setting of 2 seconds.
forwarddelay <value 4-30> - The maximum
amount of time (in seconds) that the root device
will wait before changing states. The user may
choose a time between 4 and 30 seconds. The
default is 15 seconds.
priority <value 1-65535> -
between 1 and 65535 to specify the priority for
forwarding packets. The lower the value, the
86
