Configuring STP on the Switch

Summit 200 Series Switch Installation and User Guide

3

Enable STP for one or more STP domains using the following command:

enable stpd {<stpd_name>}

NOTE

All VLANs belong to a STPD. If you do not want to run STP on a VLAN, you must add the VLAN to a
STPD that is disabled.

Once you have created the STPD, you can optionally configure STP parameters for the STPD.

CAUTION

You should not configure any STP parameters unless you have considerable knowledge and experience
with STP. The default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.

The following parameters can be configured on each STPD:

Hello time

Forward delay

Max age

Bridge priority

The following parameters can be configured on each port:

Path cost

Port priority

NOTE

The device supports the RFC 1493 Bridge MIB. Parameters of only the s0 default STPD are accessible
through this MIB.

Table 52 shows the commands used to configure STP.
