Spanning Tree Folder
This Switch supports three versions of the Spanning Tree Protocol: STP, Rapid STP, and MSTP. STP will
be familiar to most networking professionals. However, since RSTP and MSTP have been recently
introduced to Extreme Networks managed Ethernet switches, a brief introduction to the technology is
provided below, followed by a description of how to set up STP, RSTP, and MSTP.
802.1Q-2005 MSTP
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol, or MSTP, is a standard defined by the IEEE community that allows
multiple VLANs to be mapped to a single spanning tree instance, which will provide multiple
pathways across the network. Therefore, these MSTP configurations will balance the traffic load,
preventing wide scale disruptions when a single spanning tree instance fails. This will allow for faster
convergences of new topologies for the failed instance. Frames designated for these VLANs will be
Parameter Description
State Here the user can enable or disable the loopback detection feature.
Interval The time interval (in seconds) at which a device transmits all the CTP
(Configuration Test Protocol) packets to detect the loopback event. The valid
range is 1 to 32767. The default setting is 10.
Mode The loopback detection port-based mode. In the port-based mode, the port will
be disabled when a loop is detected.
Recover Time The time interval (in seconds) used by the Auto-Recovery mechanism to
decide how long to check if the loop status is gone. Zero is a special value
which means to disable the auto-recovery mechanism; hence, a user needs to
recover the disabled port back manually. The default value of the recover
timer is 60. The valid range is 60 to 1000000.
From Port – To Port: Specifies a range of ports to be configured for loopback detection status.
