Connection Type On Link Aggregate Ports - Alcatel OmniSwitch 6600 Family Network Configuration Manual

Configuring Spanning Tree Port Parameters
To change the port connection type for a VLAN instance, specify a VLAN ID with the
connection command when the switch is running in the 1x1 mode. For example, the following command
defines an edge port connection type for port 8/1 associated with VLAN 10.
-> bridge 10 8/1 connection edgeport
The explicit bridge 1x1 slot/port connection
instance when the switch is running in either mode (1x1 or flat). For example, the following command
performs the same function as the command in the previous example:
-> bridge 1x1 10 8/1 connection edgeport
To change the port Spanning Tree mode for the flat mode instance, use either the
tion command or the
when the switch is running in either mode (1x1 or flat) and an instance number is not required. For exam-
ple, the following commands configure the connection type for port 1/24 for the flat mode instance:
-> bridge 1/24 connection ptp
-> bridge cist 1/24 connection ptp
As in previous releases, it is possible to configure the flat mode instance with the bridge slot/port connec-
tion command by specifying 1 as the instance number (e.g., bridge 1 1/24 connection noptp). However,
this is only available when the switch is already running in the flat mode and STP or RSTP is the active
protocol.
Note that the bridge slot/port connection command only configures one port at a time.

Connection Type on Link Aggregate Ports

Physical ports that belong to a link aggregate do not participate in the Spanning Tree Algorithm. Instead,
the algorithm is applied to the aggregate logical link (virtual port) that represents a collection of physical
ports. To change the port connection type for a link aggregate, use the bridge slot/port connection
commands described above, but specify a link aggregate control number instead of a slot and port. For
example, the following command defines the link aggregate 10 associated with VLAN 755 as an edge
port:
-> bridge 755 10 connection edgeport
For more information about configuring an aggregate of ports, see
