Configuring Mstp Operation Mode And Global Parameters - HP procurve 8100fl series Management And Configuration Manual

c. Set the path-cost value for the port(s) used by a specific MST instance.
Leaving this setting at the default auto allows the switch to calculate
the path-cost from the link speed.

Configuring MSTP Operation Mode and Global
Parameters
The commands in this section apply on the switch level, and do not affect
individual port configurations.
Command
spanning-tree config-name < ascii-string >
spanning-tree config-revision < revision-number >
spanning-tree max-hops < hop-count >
spanning-tree force-version
< stp-compatible | rstp-operation | mstp-operation>
spanning-tree hello-time < 1..10 >
Syntax: [no] spanning-tree config-name < ascii-string >
This command resets the configuration name of the MST region in
which the switch resides. This name can include up to 32 nonblank
characters and is case-sensitive. On all switches within a given MST
region, the configuration names must be identical. Thus, if you want
more than one MSTP switch in the same MST region, you must
configure the identical region name on all such switches. If you retain
the default configuration name on a switch, it cannot exist in the
same MST region with another switch. (Default Name: A text string
using the hexadecimal representation of the switch's MAC address)
The no form of the command overwrites the currently configured
name with the default name.
Note: This option is available only when the switch is configured
for MSTP operation. Also, there is no defined limit on the number
of regions you can configure.
Syntax: spanning-tree config-revision < revision-number >
This command configures the revision number you designate for the
MST region in which you want the switch to reside. (Default is 0).
This setting must be the same for all switches residing in the same
region. Use this setting to differentiate between region
configurations in situations such as the following:
• Changing configuration settings within a region where you want
to track the configuration versions you use
• Creating a new region from a subset of switches in a current region
and want to maintain the same region name.
