Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation
802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
Configuring MSTP Per Port
The basic port connectivity parameters affect spanning-tree links at the global
level. In most cases, ProCurve recommends that you use the default settings
for these parameters and apply changes on a per-port basis only where a
nondefault setting is clearly indicated by the circumstances of individual links.
Syntax: spanning-tree hello-time < 1..10 >
If MSTP is running and the switch is operating as the CIST
root for your network, this command specifies the time in
seconds between transmissions of BPDUs for all ports on the
switch configured with Use Global (the default). This
parameter applies in MSTP, RSTP and STP modes. During
MSTP operation, you can override this global setting on a per-
port basis with this command: spanning-tree < port-list > hello-
time < 1..10 > (page 22). (Default: 2.)
Syntax: spanning-tree legacy-mode
Set spanning tree protocol to operate either in 802.1d legacy
mode or in 802.1s native mode.
Syntax:
spanning-tree legacy-path-cost
Set 802.1d (legacy) or 802.1t (not legacy) default pathcost
values.
