Description

Instance

Instance ID

ID of the MSTI to be configured.

Root Type

Role of the device in the MSTI:

Not Set—The device role is not configured.

Primary—Configure the device as the root bridge.

Secondary—Configure the device as a secondary root bridge.

After specifying the current device as the primary root bridge or a
secondary root bridge, you cannot change the priority of the device.

Bridge Priority

The bridge priority of a device is one of the factors determining whether
the device can be elected as the root bridge.

TC Protection

Whether to enable the TC guard function, that is, protection against
topology change (TC) BPDUs.
When receiving TC BPDUs (the BPDUs used to notify topology

changes), the device flushes its forwarding address entries. If someone
forges TC-BPDUs to attack the device, the device will receive a larger

number of TC-BPDUs within a short time and be busy with forwarding

address entry flushing. This affects network stability. With TC guard
enabled, you can prevent frequent flushing of forwarding address

entries.

IMPORTANT:

H3C recommends that you keep this function enabled.

TC Protection Threshold

Set the maximum number of forwarding address entry flushes that the
device can perform within a specific time period after it receives the first
TC-BPDU.
