Spanning-Tree Operation
802.1s Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
Syntax: spanning-tree hello-time < 1..10 >
If MSTP is running and the switch is operating as the CIST
root for your network, this command specifies the time in
seconds between transmissions of BPDUs for all ports on the
switch configured with the Global option (the default). This
parameter applies in MSTP, RSTP and STP modes. During
MSTP operation, you can override this global setting on a per-
port basis with this command: spanning-tree < port-list > hello-
time < 1..10 > (page 6-63). (Default: 2.)

hello-time < global | 1..10 > 6-64
spanning-tree path-cost < auto | 200000000 > 6-64
spanning-tree point-to-point-mac < force-true | force-false | auto> 6-65
spanning-tree priority <0-15> 6-65
The basic port connectivity parameters affect spanning-tree links at the global
level. In most cases, HP recommends that you use the default settings for these
parameters and apply changes on a per-port basis only where a nondefault
setting is clearly indicated by the circumstances of individual links.
Syntax: [no] spanning-tree < port-list > < edge-port | mcheck >
[ edge-port ]
Enable edge-port on ports connected to end nodes. During
spanning tree establishment, ports with edge-port enabled
transition immediately to the forwarding state. Disable
this feature on any switch port that is connected to another
switch, bridge, or hub. (Default: No - disabled)
The no spanning-tree < port-list > edge-port command
disables edge-port operation on the specified ports.
