Chapter 18: RSTP Commands

214

forcestpcompatible

The bridge uses the RSTP
parameter settings, but
transmits only STP BPDU
packets from the ports. This
option is equivalent to the
STPCOMPATIBLE option.

normalrspt

The bridge uses RSTP. It
transmits RSTP BPDU
packets, except on ports
connected to bridges
running STP. This is the
default setting.

Description

This command configures the following RSTP parameter settings.

❑ Bridge priority

❑ Hello time

❑ Forwarding delay

❑ Maximum age time

❑ Port priority

❑ Force version of STP or normal RSTP

This command can also return the RSTP parameters to their default
settings.

Note

You can use this command only if RSTP is the active spanning tree
protocol on the switch. See “ACTIVATE RSTP” on page 208.

Examples

The following command sets the bridge priority to 20480 (increment 5),
the hello time to 5 seconds, and the forwarding delay to 20 seconds:

set rstp priority=5 hellotime=5 forwarddelay=20

The following command uses the FORCEVERSION parameter to
configure the bridge to use the RSTP parameters but to transmit only
STP BPDU packets:

set rstp forceversion=stpcompatible
