Bridge Spanning Tree Configuration - HP 438031-B21 - 1:10Gb Ethernet BL-c Switch Cli Reference Manual

Bridge Spanning Tree configuration

Spanning tree bridge parameters can be configured for each Spanning Tree Group. STP bridge
parameters include:
Bridge priority
Bridge hello time
Bridge maximum age
Forwarding delay
Current bridge configuration
The following table describes the Bridge Spanning Tree Configuration commands.

Command
spanning-tree stp {<1-128>}
bridge priority {<0-65535>}
spanning-tree stp {<1-128>}
bridge hello-time {<1-10>}
spanning-tree stp {<1-128>}
bridge maximum-age {<6-40>}
spanning-tree stp {<1-128>}
bridge forward-delay {<4-30>}
Description
Configures the bridge priority. The bridge priority parameter controls
which bridge on the network is the STP root bridge.
To make this switch the root bridge, configure the bridge priority lower
than all other switches and bridges on your network. The lower the value,
the higher the bridge priority. The range is 0 to 65535, and the default
is 32768.
RSTP/MSTP: The range is 0 to 61440, in steps of 4096 (0, 4096,
8192...), and the default is 32768.
This command does not apply to MSTP. See the "Common Internal
Spanning Tree configuration" section for more information.
Command mode: Global configuration
Configures the bridge hello time. The hello time specifies how often the
root bridge transmits a configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU).
Any bridge that is not the root bridge uses the root bridge hello value.
The range is 1 to 10 seconds, and the default is 2 seconds.
This command does not apply to MSTP. See the "Common Internal
Spanning Tree configuration" section for more information.
Command mode: Global configuration
Configures the bridge maximum age. The maximum age parameter
specifies the maximum time the bridge waits without receiving a
configuration bridge protocol data unit before it reconfigures the STP
network. The range is 6 to 40 seconds, and the default is 20 seconds.
This command does not apply to MSTP. See the "Common Internal
Spanning Tree configuration" section for more information.
Command mode: Global configuration
Configures the bridge forward delay parameter. The forward delay
parameter specifies the amount of time that a bridge port has to wait
before it changes from the listening state to the learning state and from
the learning state to the forwarding state. The range is 4 to 30 seconds,
and the default is 15 seconds.
This command does not apply to MSTP. See the "Common Internal
Spanning Tree configuration" section for more information.
