Table 145 Configuration items
Item Description
Enable STP Globally
Enable or disable STP globally:
•
Enable—Enable STP globally.
•
Disable—Disable STP globally.
Other MSTP configurations can take effect only after you enable STP globally.
BPDU Protection
Enable or disable BPDU guard globally:
•
Enable—Enable BPDU guard globally.
•
Disable—Disable BPDU guard globally.
BPDU guard can protect the device from malicious BPDU attacks, keeping the
network topology stable.
Mode
Set the STP operating mode:
•
STP mode—All ports of the device send out STP BPDUs.
•
RSTP mode—All ports of the device send out RSTP BPDUs. If the device
detects that it is connected to a legacy STP device, the port connecting to the
legacy STP device will automatically migrate to STP-compatible mode.
•
MSTP—All ports of the device send out MSTP BPDUs. If the device detects
that it is connected to a legacy STP device, the port connecting to the legacy
STP device will automatically migrate to STP-compatible mode.
Max Hops
Set the maximum number of hops in an MST region to restrict the region size.
The setting can take effect only when it is configured on the regional root
bridge.
Path Cost Standard
Specify the standard for path cost calculation. It can be Legacy, IEEE
802.1D-1998, or IEEE 802.1T.
Bridge Diameter
Any two stations in a switched network are interconnected through a specific
path composed of a series of devices. The bridge diameter (or the network
diameter) is the number of devices on the path composed of the most devices.
After you set the network diameter, you cannot set the timers. Instead, the
device automatically calculates the forward delay, hello time, and max age.
When you configure the bridge diameter, follow these guidelines:
•
The network diameter applies to only the CIST. It takes effect only after you
configure it on the root bridge. Each MST region is regarded as a device.
•
After you set the network diameter, you cannot set the timers. Instead, the
device calculates the forward delay, hello time, and max age automatically.
