Configuring Ports As Edge Ports - H3C LS-3100-52P-OVS-H3 Operation Manual

Configuration procedure
Follow these steps to configure the maximum rate of a port or a group of ports:
To do...
Enter system view
Enter
interface view
or port group
view
Configure the maximum rate of
the port(s)
If the maximum rate setting of a port is too big, the port will send a large number of MSTP packets within
each hello time, thus using excessive network resources. We recommend that you use the default
setting.
Configuration example
# Set the maximum transmission rate of port GigabitEthernet 1/0/1 to 5.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1
[Sysname-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] stp transmit-limit 5

Configuring Ports as Edge Ports

If a port directly connects to a user terminal rather than another device or a shared LAN segment, this
port is regarded as an edge port. When a network topology change occurs, an edge port will not cause
a temporary loop. Because a device does not know whether a port is directly connected to a terminal,
you need to manually configure the port to be an edge port. After that, this port can transition rapidly
from the blocked state to the forwarding state without delay.
Use the command...
system-view
Enter Ethernet
interface view
interface interface-type
or Layer-2
interface-number
aggregate
interface view
Enter port port-group manual
group view port-group-name
stp transmit-limit

Required
Use either command.
Configurations made in interface
view will take effect on the
current port only; configurations
made in port group view will take
effect on all ports in the port
group.
