Spanning-Tree Operation

802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)

Note

Syntax: spanning-tree-protocol-version mstp

Changes the current spanning-tree protocol on the switch to

802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree. Must be followed by write mem

and reboot to activate the change. After rebooting, the switch

is r e a dy t o o p era t e as an M S TP br i d ge. N o t e tha t t his c o m m an d

does not enable spanning-tree operation. To activate the

configured spanning-tree operation on the switch, execute

spanning-tree.

Note: When you activate spanning-tree operation or change

the spanning-tree configuration while spanning tree is

enabled, the switch must recalculate the network paths it

uses.To minimize traffic delays while this convergence occurs,

ProCurve recommends that you not activate spanning tree

operation until you have finished configuring all devices in

your network. Refer to “Enabling an Entire MST Region at

Once or Exchanging One Region Configuration for Another”

on page 5-72.

The following commands are available only when the switch is configured for

MSTP protocol operation.

Syntax: [no] spanning-tree config-name < ascii-string >

This command resets the configuration name of the MST

region in which the switch resides. This name can include up

to 32 nonblank characters and is case-sensitive. On all

switches within a given MST region, the configuration names

must be identical. Thus, if you want more than one MSTP

switch in the same MST region, you must configure the

identical region name on all such switches. If you retain the

default configuration name on a switch, it cannot exist in the

same MST region with another switch. (Default Name: A text

string using the hexadecimal representation of the switch’s

MAC address)

The no form of the command overwrites the currently

configured name with the default name.

Note: This option is available only when the switch is

configured for MSTP operation. Also, there is no defined

limit on the number of regions you can configure.
