Configuration Task Summary
Table 14-12 summarizes STP/RSTP configuration tasks.
Scenario | Description | Task |
---|---|---|
Configuring basic STP/RSTP functions |
Configure STP/RSTP on switching devices on a 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, you can set STP parameters, including the network diameter, timeout interval, Hello timer interval, Max Age timer value, and Forward Delay timer value to speed up convergence. |
|
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 |
You can configure one or more functions RSTP protection functions on a Huawei device. |
|
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. |
Setting Parameters for Interoperation Between Huawei and Non-Huawei Devices |
