Configuring Global Settings for STA
– 209 –
◆ BPDU Flooding – Configures how the system floods BPDUs to other ports
when spanning tree is disabled globally on the switch or disabled on specific
ports.
■
To VLAN: Floods BPDUs to all other spanning tree-disabled ports within the
receiving port’s native VLAN (i.e., as determined by port’s PVID).
This is the default.
■
To All: Floods BPDUs to all other spanning tree-disabled ports on the
switch.
The setting has no effect if BPDU flooding is disabled on a port (see
"Configuring Interface Settings for STA").
◆ Cisco Prestandard Status – Configures spanning tree operation to be
compatible with Cisco prestandard versions. (Default: Disabled)
Cisco prestandard versions prior to Cisco IOS Release 12.2(25)SEC do not fully
follow the IEEE standard, causing some state machine procedures to function
incorrectly. This command forces the spanning tree protocol to function in a
manner compatible with Cisco prestandard versions.
Advanced Configuration Settings
The following attributes are based on RSTP, but also apply to STP since the switch
uses a backwards-compatible subset of RSTP to implement STP, and also apply to
MSTP which is based on RSTP according to the standard:
◆ Path Cost Method – The path cost is used to determine the best path between
devices. The path cost method is used to determine the range of values that
can be assigned to each interface.
■
Long: Specifies 32-bit based values that range from 1-200,000,000.
(Thisisthedefault.)
■
Short: Specifies 16-bit based values that range from 1-65535.
◆ Transmission Limit – The maximum number of BPDU transmissions permitted
within the Hello Time interval. (Range: 1-10; Default: 3)
When the Switch Becomes Root
◆ Hello Time – Interval (in seconds) at which the root device transmits a
configuration message.
■
Default: 2
■
Minimum: 1
■
Maximum: The lower of 10 or [(Max. Message Age / 2) -1]
◆ Maximum Age – The maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without
receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconverge. All device
ports (except for designated ports) should receive configuration messages at
regular intervals. Any port that ages out STA information (provided in the last
configuration message) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If it
