Configuring Spanning Tree (G350 Only); Spanning Tree Protocol - Avaya G250 Administration

The following example creates a port mirroring pair in the G250:
G250-001(super)# set port mirror source-port 10/3 mirror-port 10/10 sampling always
direction rx
Mirroring rx packets from port 10/3 to port 10/10 is enabled
The following example displays port mirroring information for the G350:
G350-001(super)# show port mirror
port mirroring
Mirroring both Rx and Tx packets from port 6/2 to port 6/10 is enabled
The following example displays port mirroring information for the G250:
G250-001(super)# show port mirror
port mirroring
Mirroring both Rx and Tx packets from port 10/3 to port 10/10 is enabled
The following example disables port mirroring:
G350-001(super)# clear port mirror

G350 devices support the enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree protocol (802.1w). The 802.1w
standard is a faster and more sophisticated version of the 802.1d (STP) standard, and includes
backward compatibility with 802.1d. Spanning Tree makes it possible to recover connectivity
after an outage within a minute or so. RSTP, with its "rapid" algorithm, can usually restore
connectivity to a network where a backbone link has failed in much less time.
Note:
Spanning tree is not supported on the G250.

Spanning tree protocol

The Spanning Tree Algorithm ensures the existence of a loop-free topology in networks that
contain parallel bridges. A loop occurs when there are alternate routes between hosts. If there is
a loop in an extended network, bridges may forward traffic indefinitely, which can result in
increased traffic and degradation in network performance.
