Specifying the transmit hold count

Use this procedure to configure the BPDU burst size by specifying the transmit hold count value.
The node configures the maximum number of BPDUs transmitted per
second for RSTP, MSTP, and Rapid PVST before pausing for 1 second. The range is 1 through 10.
The default is 6.

To specify the transmit hold count, perform the following steps.

1. Issue the RPC to configure the node in the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.

2. Under the node, include the node from the

urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-xstp namespace.

3. Under the node, include the , , or node element.

4. Under the , , or node, include the element and

specify a value to configure the transmit hold count.

Enabling Cisco interoperability (MSTP)

Use the this procedure to enable or disable the ability to interoperate with certain legacy Cisco
switches. If Cisco interoperability is required on any switch in the network, then all switches in the
network must be compatible, and therefore enabled using this procedure. The default is Cisco
interoperability is disabled.

NOTE

The element is necessary because the “version 3 length” field in the MSTP
BPDU on some legacy Cisco switches does not conform to current standards.
