config stp
Purpose
Used to setup STP on the switch.
Syntax
config stp {maxage <value>/hellotime
<value>/forwarddelay <value>/priority
<value>/fbpdu [enabled/disabled]}
Description
This command is used to setup the
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for the entire
switch.
Parameters
maxage <value> − the maximum amount
of time (in seconds) that the switch will
wait to receive a BPDU packet before
reconfiguring STP. The default is 20
seconds.
hellotime <value> − the time interval
between transmission of configuration
messages by the root device. The default is
2 seconds.
forwarddelay <value> − the maximum
amount of time (in seconds) that the root
device will wait before changing states. The
default is 15 seconds.
priority <value> − a numerical value
between 0 and 65535 that is used in
determining the root device, root port, and
designated port. The device with the
highest priority be
comes the root device.
The lower the numerical value, the higher
the priority. The default is 32,768.
fbpdu [enabled/disabled] − allows the
forwarding of STP BPDU packets from other
network devices when STP is disabled on
the switch. The default is enabled.
Restrictions
Only administrator-level users can issue
this command.
