STP/RSTP Configuration
This chapter describes how to configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP).
- Introduction to STP/RSTP
- Principles
- Applications
- Configuration Task Summary
- Licensing Requirements and Limitations for STP/RSTP
- Default Configuration
- Configuring Basic STP/RSTP Functions
You can configure STP/RSTP on an Ethernet network to ensure that the network has a loop-free tree topology. - Setting STP Parameters that Affect STP Convergence
STP cannot implement rapid convergence. However, STP parameters including the network diameter, timeout interval, Hello timer interval, Max Age timer value, and Forward Delay timer value can affect the STP convergence speed. - Setting RSTP Parameters that Affect RSTP Convergence
RSTP supports link type and fast transition configuration on ports to implement rapid convergence. - Configuring RSTP Protection Functions
Huawei network devices provide the following RSTP protection functions. - Setting Parameters for Interoperation Between Huawei and Non-Huawei
Devices
To implement interoperation between a Huawei device and a non-Huawei device, select a fast transition mode according to the Proposal/Agreement mechanism of the non-Huawei device. - Maintaining STP/RSTP
