Setting spanning-tree link type for rapid state transitions
As specified in IEEE 802.1w, OS10 assumes a port that runs in full duplex mode as a point-to-point link. A point-to-point link
transitions to forwarding state faster. By default, OS10 derives the link type of a port from the duplex mode. You can override
the duplex mode using the spanning-tree link-type command.
As half-duplex mode is considered as a shared link, the fast transition feature is not applicable for shared links. If you designate a
port as a shared link, you cannot use the fast transition feature, regardless of the duplex setting.
To fasten the spanning-tree state transitions, you can set the link type to point-to-point. To set the link type to point-to-point:
● Use the following command in INTERFACE mode.
spanning-tree link-type point-to-point
MAC flush optimization
OS10 offers a MAC address clearing technique that optimizes the number of MAC flush calls sent by the Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) module. For more information about this feature, see MAC flush optimization.
RSTP allows per port-based flush until the number of calls sent is equal to the MAC flush threshold value that you have
configured.
When the number of calls that are sent reaches the configured threshold, RSTP ignores further per-port based flush and starts
the MAC flush timer. When the timer expires, RSTP invokes an entire table flush, where it requests one flush for all the ports.
