Summary of STP/RSTP Configuration Tasks
Table 9-14 summarizes STP/RSTP configuration tasks.
| Scenario | Description | Task |
|---|---|---|
Configuring basic STP/RSTP functions |
Configure STP/RSTP on devices on a network to trim the network into a tree topology free from loops. |
|
Setting STP parameters that affect the STP convergence speed |
STP cannot implement rapid convergence. However, you can set STP parameters, including the network diameter, timeout interval, Hello timer value, Max Age timer value, and Forward Delay timer value to speed up convergence. |
Configuring STP Parameters That Affect the STP Convergence Speed |
Setting RSTP parameters that affect the RSTP convergence speed |
RSTP supports link type and fast transition configuration on ports to implement rapid convergence. |
|
Configuring RSTP protection functions |
You can configure one or more 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 the fast transition mode based on the Proposal/Agreement mechanism of the non-Huawei device. |
Configuring Interoperability Between Huawei and Non-Huawei Devices |
