DGS-3024 Layer 2 Switch CLI Reference Manual

DGS-3024:4#disable stp

Command: disable stp

Success.

DGS-3024:4#

config stp version

Purpose Used to globally set the version of STP on the Switch.

Syntax

config stp version [mstp | rstp | stp]

Description This command allows the user to choose the version of the spanning

tree to be implemented on the Switch.

Parameters mstp – Selecting this parameter will set the Multiple Spanning Tree

Protocol (MSTP) globally on the Switch.

rstp - Selecting this parameter will set the Rapid Spanning Tree

Protocol (RSTP) globally on the Switch.

stp - Selecting this parameter will set the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

globally on the Switch.

Restrictions Only administrator-level users can issue this command.

Example usage:

To set the Switch globally for the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP):

DGS-3024:4#config stp version mstp

Command: config stp version mstp

Success.

DGS-3024:4#

config stp

Purpose Used to setup STP, RSTP and MSTP on the Switch.

Syntax

config stp {maxage <value 6-40> | maxhops <value 1-20> |

hellotime <value 1-10> | forwarddelay <value 4-30>| txholdcount

lbd_recover_timer [0 | <value 60-1000000>]}

Description This command is used to setup the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) for

the entire Switch. All commands here will be implemented for the STP

version that is currently set on the Switch.

Parameters

maxage <value 6-40> − This value may be set to ensure that old

information does not endlessly circulate through redundant paths in the

network, preventing the effective propagation of the new information.

Set by the Root Bridge, this value will aid in determining that the Switch

has spanning tree configuration values consistent with other devices on

the bridged LAN. If the value ages out and a BPDU has still not been

received from the Root Bridge, the Switch will start sending its own

BPDU to all other Switches for permission to become the Root Bridge.

If it turns out that your Switch has the lowest Bridge Identifier, it will

become the Root Bridge. The user may choose a time between 6 and
