Protocols And Standards; Mstp Configuration Task List - H3C S5120-SI Series Configuration Manual

Protocols and Standards

MSTP is documented in:
IEEE 802.1d: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges
IEEE 802.1w: Part 3: Media Access Control (MAC) Bridges—Amendment 2: Rapid
Reconfiguration
IEEE 802.1s: Virtual Bridged Local Area Networks—Amendment 3: Multiple Spanning Trees

MSTP Configuration Task List

Before configuring MSTP, you need to know the role of each device in each MSTI: root bridge or leave
node. In each MSTI, one, and only one device acts as the root bridge, while all others as leaf nodes.
Complete these tasks to configure MSTP:
Configuring the
root bridge
Configuring the
leaf nodes
Task
Configuring an MST Region
Configuring the Root Bridge or a Secondary Root Bridge
Configuring the Work Mode of an MSTP Device
Configuring the Priority of a Device
Configuring the Maximum Hops of an MST Region
Configuring the Network Diameter of a Switched Network
Configuring Timers of MSTP
Configuring the Timeout Factor
