spanning-tree guard
Enables or disables loop guard or root guard on an interface.
Syntax
spanning-tree guard {loop | root | none}
Parameters
● loop — Enables loop guard on an interface.
● root — Enables root guard on an interface.
● none — Sets the guard mode to none.
Default Not configured
Usage
Information
Root guard and loop guard configurations are mutually exclusive. Configuring one overwrites the other
from the active configuration.
Command Mode INTERFACE
Example
OS10(conf-if-eth1/1/4)# spanning-tree guard root
Supported
Releases
10.2.0E or later
spanning-tree link-type
Sets the spanning-tree link-type for faster convergence.
Syntax
spanning-tree link-type {auto | point-to-point | shared}
Parameters
● auto — Enter the keyword to sets the link-type based on the duplex setting of the interface.
● point-to-point—Specifies that the interface is a point-to-point or full-duplex link.
● shared—Specifies that the interface is a half-duplex medium.
Default Auto
Command Mode INTERFACE
Usage
Information
As specified in IEEE 802.1w, OS10 assumes a port that runs in full-duplex mode as a point-to-point link.
A point-to-point link transitions to forwarding state faster. By default, OS10 derives the link-type of a
port from the duplex mode. You can override the duplex mode using the spanning-tree link-type
command.
As half-duplex mode is considered as a shared link, the fast transition feature is not applicable for shared
links. If you designate a port as a shared link, you cannot use the fast transition feature, regardless of the
duplex setting.
Example
OS10(config-inf)# spanning-tree link-type point-to-point

spanning-tree mac-flush-timer
Enables or disables MAC flush optimization.
Syntax
spanning-tree mac-flush-timer timer-interval
Parameters timer-interval—Enter the timer interval in centi-seconds, from 0 to 500. The default value is 200
milli-seconds.
Default Enabled
Command Mode CONFIGURATION
Usage
Information
This command configures the flush interval time in centi-seconds, and controls the number of calls
invoked from the spanning-tree module. If the timer is set to 0, MAC flush optimization is disabled. If the
