To enable/disable spanning tree
1. Open a telnet session on the P330 stack processor, using the serial cable connected to the
Console port of the G700.
2. At the P330-x(super)# prompt, type set spantree help and press Enter to display the
set spantree commands selection.
3. To enable Spanning Tree, type set spantree enable and press Enter.
4. To set the rapid spanning tree version, type set spantree version
rapid-spanning-tree
and press Enter.
The 802.1w standard defines differently the default path cost for a port compared to STP
(802.1d). In order to avoid network topology change when migrating to RSTP, the STP path
cost is preserved when changing the spanning tree version to RSTP. You can use the
default RSTP port cost by typing the CLI command set port spantree cost auto.
Note:
Note:
Avaya P330s now support a "Faststart" or "Portfast" function, because the
802.1w standard defined it. An edge port is a port that goes to a device that
cannot form a network loop.
To set an edge-port, type set port edge admin state module/port
edgeport
.

The administration procedures in this section are done on the media server that
is the primary controller for the new G700 you previously installed.
The primary controller for the G700 you are installing must be administered to enable
communication between the primary controller and the G700. The administration differs
somewhat depending on whether the primary controller is an S8300 or the primary controller is
an S8400, S8500, or S8700-series Media Server.
Perform one of the following two administration procedures in this section:
●
Administering an S8300 primary controller
●
Administering an S8400, S8500, or S8700-series primary controller
