Summary of MSTP Configuration Tasks
Table 10-8 lists the MSTP configuration tasks.
| Item | Description | Task |
|---|---|---|
Configuring Basic MSTP Functions |
MSTP is configured on switching devices to trim a ring network to a loop-free network. Devices start spanning tree calculation after the working mode is set and MSTP is enabled. Use any of the following methods if you need to intervene in the
spanning tree calculation:
|
|
Configuring MSTP Multi-Process |
On a network deployed with Layer 2 single-access rings and multi-access rings, configure multiple MSTP processes so that spanning trees of different processes are calculated independently and do not affect each other. |
|
Configuring MSTP Parameters on an Interface |
Proper MSTP parameter settings achieve rapid convergence. |
|
Configuring MSTP Protection Functions |
One or more MSTP protection functions can be configured. |
|
Configuring MSTP Interoperation Between Huawei Devices and Non-Huawei Devices |
To communicate with a non-Huawei device, set proper parameters on the MSTP-enabled Huawei device. |
