Protocols And Standards; Configuration Task List - H3C LS-3100-52P-OVS-H3 Operation Manual

Implementation of MSTP on devices
MSTP is compatible with STP and RSTP. STP and RSTP protocol packets can be recognized by
devices running MSTP and used for spanning tree calculation.
In addition to basic MSTP functions, many special functions are provided for ease of management, as
follows:
Root bridge hold
Root bridge backup
Root guard
BPDU guard
Loop guard
TC-BPDU guard

Protocols and Standards

MSTP is documented in:
IEEE 802.1d: Spanning Tree Protocol
IEEE 802.1w: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
IEEE 802.1s: Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol

Configuration Task List

Before configuring MSTP, you need to know the position 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
Task
Configuring an MST Region
Specifying the Root Bridge or a Secondary Root Bridge
Configuring the Work Mode of an MSTP Device
Configuring the Priority of the Current 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
Configuring the Maximum Port Rate
Configuring Ports as Edge Ports
Setting the Link Type of a Port to P2P
Configuring the Mode a Port Uses to Recognize/Send
MSTP Packets
Enabling the Output of Port State Transition Information
Enabling the MSTP Feature
