Parameters

default

Disables MSTP and returns all bridge and port MSTP

settings to the default values. This parameter cannot be
used with any other parameter. (This parameter
performs the same function as the PURGE MSTP
command.) The spanning tree protocol must be
disabled to use this parameter.

forceversion

Controls whether the bridge will operate with MSTP or
in an STP-compatible mode. If you select MSTP, the
bridge will operate all ports in MSTP, except for those
ports that receive STP or RSTP BPDU packets. If you
select STP Compatible or Force STP Compatible, the
bridge uses its MSTP parameter settings, but sends
only STP BPDU packets from the ports

The options are:

stpcompatible or

The bridge uses the MSTP

forcestpcompatible

parameter settings, but transmits
only STP BPDU packets from the
ports. These options are
equivalent.

normalmspt

The bridge uses MSTP. The
bridge sends out MSTP BPDU
packets from all ports except for
those ports connected to bridges
running STP. This is the default
setting.

hellotime

Specifies the time interval between generating and

sending configuration messages by the bridge. This
parameter can be from 1 to 10 seconds. The default is 2
seconds.
