Syntax port port=<number|list|range> status=<enable|disable> - specific ports may not need to

participate in STP process. These ports typically would be end-stations. If you are not sure – let MNS-6K
software make the decisions

Syntax timers forward-delay=<4-30> hello=<1-10> age=<6-160> - change the STP Forward

Delay, Hello timer and Aging timer values

Chapter 13 – Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol

Syntax set stp type=<stp|rstp> - Set the switch to support RSTP or change it back to STP. Need to save

and reboot the switch after this command


Syntax
rstp – enter the RSTP configuration mode

Syntax rstp <enable|disable> - enable RSTP – by default, this is disabled and has to be manually

activated


Syntax
port port=<number|list|range> [status=<enable|disable>]

[migration=<enable>] [edge=<enable|disable>] [p2p=<on|off|auto>]

- set the

port type for RSTP

Example port port=<number|list|range> p2p= off - Set the “point-to-point” value to off on

all ports that are connected to

shared LAN segments

(i.e. connections to hubs). The default

value is auto. P2P ports would typically be end stations or computers on the network


Example
port port=<number|list|range> edge=enable – enable all ports connected to

other hubs, bridges and switches as edge ports


Example
port port=<number|list|range> migration=enable – set this for all ports

connected to other devices such as hubs, bridges and switches known to support IEEE 802.1d
STP services, but cannot support RSTP services


Syntax show active-stp – status whether STP or RSTP is running

Syntax
show rstp <config|ports> - display the RSTP or STP parameters

Syntax forceversion <stp|rstp> - set the STP or RSTP compatibility mode

Syntax show-forceversion - the current forced version

Syntax
show-timers - show the values of the timers set for RSTP
