1.1 MSTP Configuration Commands

1.1.1 active region-configuration

Syntax

active region-configuration

View

MST region view

Parameter

None

Description

Use the active region-configuration command to activate the settings of a multiple

spanning tree (MST) region.

Configuring MST region-related parameters (especially the VLAN mapping table) is

probable to result in network topology jitter. To reduce network topology jitter caused by

the configuration, multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP) does not recalculate

spanning trees immediately after the configuration; it does this only after you activate

the new MST region-related settings or enable MSTP, and then the new settings can

really take effect.

When you carry out this command, MSTP will replace the currently running MST

region–related parameters with the parameters you have just configured and will

perform spanning tree recalculation.

Related command: instance, region-name, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo,

and check region-configuration.

# Activate the MST region-related settings.

1.1.2 bpdu-drop any

Syntax

bpdu-drop any

undo bpdu-drop any

View

Ethernet port view

Parameter

None

Description

Use the bpdu-drop any command to enable the function of dropping BPDU packets on

the Ethernet port.

Use the undo bpdu-drop any command to disable the function of dropping BPDU

packets on the Ethernet port.

The function of dropping BPDU packets is disabled on the Ethernet port by default.

In a STP-enabled network, some users may send BPDU packets to the switch

continuously with the purpose of destroying the network. When a switch receives the

BPDU packets, it will forward them to other switches. As a result, STP calculation is

performed continuously, which may occupy too much CPU of the switches or cause

errors in the protocol state of the BPDU packets.

In order to avoid this problem, you can enable the function of dropping BPDU packets

on the Ethernet port. Once the function is enabled on a port, the port will not receive or

forward any BPDU packets. In this way, the switch is protected against the BPDU

packet attack so that the STP calculation is assured to be right.

Example

# Enable the function of dropping BPDU packets on Ethernet1/0/1.

View

MST region view

Parameter

None

Description

Use the check region-configuration command to display the configuration

information about the inactivated regions, including region name, revision level, and

VLAN mapping table.

In MSTP, the configuration of MST regions must be right, especially the VLAN mapping

table. MSTP-enabled switches are in the same region only when they have the same

MST region-related configuration, including region name, revision level, and VLAN

mapping table. A switch cannot be in the expected region if any of the three MST

region-related parameters above are not consistent with those of another switch in the

region.

This command is used to display the configuration information of inactivated MST

regions. You can use this command to find the MST region the switch currently belongs

to or check to see whether or not the MST region-related configuration is correct.

Related command: instance, region-name, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo,

and active region-configuration.

Syntax

display stp [ instance instance-id ] [ interface interface-list | slot slot-number ] [ brief ]

View

Any view

Parameter

instance-id: ID of the spanning tree instance ranging from 0 to 16. The value of 0 refers

to the common and internal spanning tree (CIST).

interface-list: Ethernet port list. You can specify multiple Ethernet ports by providing this

argument in the form of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to

interface-type interface-number ] } &<1-10>, where &<1-10> means that you can

provide up to 10 port indexes/port index ranges for this argument.

slot slot-number: Specifies a slot whose STP-related information is to be displayed.

brief: Displays only port state and protection measures taken on the port.

Description

Use the display stp command to display the state and statistical information about one

or all spanning trees.

The state and statistical information about MSTP can be used to analyze and maintain

the topology of a network. It can also be used to make MSTP operate properly.

z If neither spanning tree instance nor port list is specified, the command displays

spanning tree information about all spanning tree instances on all ports in the

order of port number.

z If only one spanning tree instance is specified, the command displays information

about the specified spanning tree instance on all ports in the order of the port

number.

z If only a port list is specified, the command displays information about all spanning

tree instances on these ports in the order of the port numbers.

z If both a spanning tree instance ID list and a port list are specified, the command

displays spanning tree information about the specified spanning tree instances

and the specified ports in the order of spanning tree instance ID.

MSTP state information includes:

1) Global CIST parameters: Protocol operating mode, switch priority in the CIST

instance, MAC address, hello time, max age, forward delay, max hops, the

common root of the CIST, the external path cost for the switch to reach the CIST

common root, region root, the internal path cost for the switch to reach the region

root, CIST root port of the switch, the state of the BPDU protection function

(enabled or disabled), and the state of the digest snooping feature (enabled or

disabled).

2) CIST port parameters: Port protocol, port role, port priority, path cost, designated

bridge, designated port, edge port/non-edge port, whether or not the link on a port

is a point-to-point link, the maximum transmitting speed, type of the enabled root

protection function, state of the digest snooping feature (enabled or disabled),

VLAN mappings, hello time, max age, forward delay, Message-age time, and

remaining hops.

View

MST region view

Parameter

instance-id: ID of a spanning tree instance ranging from 0 to 16. The value of 0 refers to

the CIST.

vlan-list: List of VLANs. You need to provide this argument in the form of vlan-list =

{ vlan-id [ to vlan-id ] }&<1-10>, where &<1-10> means that you can provide up to 10

VLAN IDs/VLAN ID ranges for this argument. Normally, a VLAN ID can be a number

ranging from 1 to 4,094. VLANs with their IDs beyond this range (if the switch supports

this kind VLAN IDs), such as VLAN 4095, VLAN 4096, can only be mapped to the CIST

(spanning tree instance 0).

Description

Use the instance command to map specified VLANs to a specified spanning tree

instance.

Use the undo instance command to remove the mappings from the specified VLANs

to the specified spanning tree instance and remap the specified VLANs to the CIST

(spanning tree instance 0). If you specify no VLAN in the undo instance command, all

VLANs that are mapped to the specified spanning tree instance are remapped to the

CIST.

By default, all VLANs are mapped to the CIST.

VLAN-to-MSTI mappings are recorded in the VLAN mapping table of an

MSTP-enabled switch. So these two commands are actually used to manipulate the

VLAN mapping table. You can add/remove a VLAN to/from the VLAN mapping table of

a specific spanning tree instance by using these two commands.

Command Manual – MSTP

H3C S3100-52P Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration Commands

Note that a VLAN cannot be mapped to multiple spanning tree instances at the same

time. A VLAN-to-MSTI mapping is automatically removed if you map the VLAN to

another spanning tree instance.

Related command: region-name, revision-level, vlan-mapping modulo, check

region-configuration, and active region-configuration.

Description

Use the region-name command to set an MST region name for a switch.

Use the undo region-name command to restore the MST region name to the default

value.

The default MST region name of a switch is its MAC address.

MST region name, along with VLAN mapping table and MSTP revision level,

determines the MST region which a switch belongs to.

Related command: instance, revision-level, check region-configuration,

vlan-mapping modulo, and active region-configuration.

Parameter

interface-list: Ethernet port list. You can specify multiple Ethernet ports by providing this

argument in the form of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to

interface-type interface-number ] } &<1-10>, where &<1-10> means that you can

provide up to 10 port indexes/port index ranges for this argument.

Description

Use the reset stp command to clear spanning tree statistics.

The spanning tree statistics includes the numbers of TCN BPDUs, configuration

BPDUs, RST BPDUs, and MST BPDUs sent/received through one or more specified

ports or all ports (note that STP BPDUs and TCN BPDUs are counted only for CISTs.)

This command clears the spanning tree statistics on specified ports if you specify the

interface-list argument. If you do not specify the interface-list argument, this command

clears the spanning tree statistics on all ports.

Related command: display stp.

Description

Use the revision-level command to set the MSTP revision level for a switch.

Use the undo revision-level command to restore the revision level to the default

value.

MSTP revision level, along with MST region name and VLAN mapping table,

determines the MST region which a switch belongs to.

Description

Use the stp command to enable/disable MSTP globally or on the specified port(s).

Use the undo stp command to restore the MSTP state to the default value globally or

on the port(s).

By default, MSTP is disabled on switches.

Command Manual – MSTP

H3C S3100-52P Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration Commands

After MSTP is enabled, the actual operating mode, which can be STP-compatible mode,

RSTP-compatible mode, or MSTP mode, is determined by the user-defined protocol

mode. A switch becomes a transparent bridge if MSTP is disabled.

After being enabled, MSTP maintains spanning trees by processing configuration

BPDUs of different VLANs. After being disabled, it stops maintaining spanning trees.

Related command: stp mode, and stp interface.

Use the undo stp bpdu-protection command to restore to the default state of the

BPDU protection function.

By default, the BPDU protection function is disabled.

Normally, the access ports of the devices operating on the access layer are directly

connected to terminals (such as PCs) or file servers. These ports are usually

configured as edge ports to implement rapid transition. But they resume non-edge ports

automatically upon receiving configuration BPDUs, which causes spanning trees

recalculation and network topology jitter.

Normally, no configuration BPDU will reach edge ports. But malicious users can attack

a network by sending configuration BPDUs deliberately to edge ports to cause network

jitter. You can prevent such attacks by enabling the BPDU protection function. With this

function enabled on a switch, the switch shuts down the edge ports that receive

configuration BPDUs and then reports these cases to the administrator. If an edge port

is shut down, only the administrator can restore it.

Example

# Enable the BPDU protection function.

<H3C> system-view

System View: return to User View with Ctrl+Z.

[H3C] stp bpdu-protection

Caution:

As Gigabit ports of an S3100-52P Ethernet switch cannot be shut down, the BPDU

protection function is not applicable to these ports even if you enable the BPDU

protection function and specify these ports to be MSTP edge ports.

1.1.12 stp bridge-diameter

undo stp bridge-diameter

View

System view

Parameter

bridgenum: Network diameter to be set for a switched network. This argument ranges

from 2 to 7 and defaults to 7.

Description

Use the stp bridge-diameter command to set the network diameter of a switched

network. The network diameter of a switched network is represented by the maximum

possible number of switches between any two terminal devices in a switched network.

Command Manual – MSTP

H3C S3100-52P Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration Commands

1-13

Use the undo stp bridge-diameter command to restore the network diameter to the

default value.

After you configure the network diameter of a switched network, MSTP adjusts its hello

time, forward delay, and max age settings accordingly. With the network diameter set to

the default value 7, the three time-relate settings, including hello time, forward delay,

and max age, are set to their default values as well.

The stp bridge-diameter command only applies to CIST. It is invalid for MSTIs.

Related command: stp timer forward-delay, stp timer hello, and stp timer max-age.

Parameter

auto: Sets the MSTP packet format to auto.

legacy: Sets the MSTP packet format to legacy.

dot1s: Sets the MSTP packet format to dot1s.

Description

Use the stp compliance command to set the MSTP packet format for the port.

Use the undo stp compliance command to restore the MSTP packet format to the

default value for the port.

By default, the MSTP packet format for a port is legacy.

z With the MSTP packet format set to auto for the port, the port automatically

determines the format of received MSTP packets and then determines the format

of the packets to be transmitted according to that of the received MSTP packets,

thus implementing interconnection with the peer devices. If the format of the

received packets changes repeatedly, MSTP will shut down the corresponding

port to prevent network storm. A port shut down in this way can only be enabled

again by the network administrator after login.

z With the MSTP packet format set to legacy, the port only processes and transmits

MSTP packets in legacy format, thus implementing interconnection with the peer

devices transmitting packets in legacy format. If packets in dot1s format are

received, the corresponding ports are set as discarding ports to prevent network

storm.

z With the MSTP packet format set to dot1s, the port only processes and transmits

MSTP packets in dot1s format, thus implementing communication with peer

devices transmitting packets in dot1s format. If packets in legacy format are

received, the corresponding ports are set as discarding ports to prevent network

storm.

z All the ports in an aggregation group use the same MSTP packet format.

Parameter

None

Description

Use the stp config-digest-snooping command to enable the digest snooping feature.

Use the undo stp config-digest-snooping command to disable the digest snooping

feature.

The digest snooping feature is disabled by default.

Command Manual – MSTP

H3C S3100-52P Ethernet Switches Chapter 1 MSTP Configuration Commands

1-15

According to IEEE 802.1s, two interconnected switches can interwork with each other

through MSTIs in an MST region only when the two switches have the same MST

region-related configuration. With MSTP enabled, interconnected switches determine

whether or not they are in the same MST region by checking the configuration IDs of

the BPDUs between them. (A configuration ID contains information such as region ID

and configuration digest.)

As some other manufacturers' switches adopt proprietary spanning tree protocols, they

cannot interwork with other switches in an MST region even if they are configured with

the same MST region-related settings as other switches in the MST region.

This kind of problems can be overcome by implementing the digest snooping feature. If

a switch port is connected to another manufacturer’s switch that has the same MST

region-related settings but adopts a proprietary spanning tree protocol, you can enable

the digest snooping feature on the port when it receives BPDU packets from another

manufacturer's switch. Then the switch considers these BPDU packets to be from its

own MST region and records the configuration digests carried in the BPDU packets

received from the switch, which will be put in the BPDU packets to be sent to another

manufacturer’s switch. In this way, the switch can interwork with another

manufacturer’s switches in an MST region.

 Note:

z When the digest snooping feature is enabled on a port, the port state turns to the

discarding state. That is, the port will not send BPDU packets. The port is not

involved in the STP calculation until it receives BPDU packets from the peer port.

z The digest snooping feature is needed only when your switch is connected to

another manufacturer’s switches adopting proprietary spanning tree protocols.

z To enable the digest snooping feature successfully, you must first enable it on all the

switch ports that connect to another manufacturer’s switches adopting proprietary

spanning tree protocols and then enable it globally.

z To enable the digest snooping feature, the interconnected switches must be

configured with exactly the same MST region-related settings.

z The digest snooping feature must be enabled on all the switch ports that connect to

another manufacturer’s switches adopting proprietary spanning tree protocols in the

same MST region.

z With the digest snooping feature enabled, the VLAN-to-MSTI mapping cannot be

modified.

z The digest snooping feature is not applicable to edge ports in the MST region.

Example

# Enable the digest snooping feature on Ethernet1/0/1.

instance-id: ID of a spanning tree instance ranging from 0 to 16. The value of 0 refers to

the CIST.

cost: Path cost to be set for the port. This argument ranges from 1 to 200,000.

Description

Use the stp cost command to set the path cost of the current port in a specified

spanning tree instance.

Use the undo stp cost command to restore the default path cost of the current port in

the specified spanning tree instance.

By default, a switch automatically calculates the path costs of a port in different

spanning tree instances based on a specified standard.

If you specify the instance-id argument to be 0 or do not specify this argument, the stp

cost command sets the path cost of the port in CIST.

The path cost of a port affects its port role. By configuring different path costs for the

same port in different MSTIs, you can make flows of different VLANs travel along

different physical links, so as to achieve VLAN-based load balancing. Changing the

path cost of a port in a spanning tree instance may change the role of the port in the

instance and put it in state transition.

Related command: stp interface cost.

Example

# Set the path cost of Ethernet1/0/3 in spanning tree instance 2 to 200.

Parameter

enable: Configures the current Ethernet port as an edge port.

disable: Configures the current Ethernet port as a non-edge port.

Description

Use the stp edged-port enable command to configure the current Ethernet port as an

edge port.

Use the stp edged-port disable command to configure the current Ethernet port as a

non-edge port.

Use the undo stp edged-port command to restore the current Ethernet port to its

default state.

By default, all Ethernet ports of a switch are non-edge ports.

An edge port is a port that is directly connected to a user terminal instead of another

switch or shared network segment. Rapid transition to the forwarding state is applied to

edge ports because on these ports no loops can be incurred by network topology

changes. You can enable a port to turn to the forwarding state rapidly by setting it to an

edge port. And you are recommended to configure the Ethernet ports directly

connected to user terminals as edge ports to enable them to turn to the forwarding state

rapidly.

Normally, configuration BPDUs cannot reach an edge port because the port is not

connected to another switch. But when the BPDU protection function is disabled on an

edge port, configuration BPDUs sent deliberately by a malicious user may reach the

port. If an edge port receives a BPDU, it turns to a non-edge port.

Caution:

Among loop prevention function, root protection function and edge port setting, only

one can be valid on a port at one time.

Syntax

stp interface interface-list { enable | disable }

View

System view

Parameter

interface-list: Ethernet port list. You can specify multiple Ethernet ports by providing this

argument in the form of interface-list = { interface-type interface-number [ to

interface-type interface-number ] } &<1-10>, where &<1-10> means that you can

provide up to 10 port indexes/port index ranges for this argument.

enable: Enables MSTP on the specified ports.

disable: Disables MSTP on the specified ports.

Description

Use the stp interface command to enable or disable MSTP on specified ports in

system view.

By default, MSTP is enabled on the ports of a switch if MSTP is globally enabled on the

switch, and MSTP is disabled on the ports if MSTP is globally disabled.

An MSTP-disabled port does not participate in any spanning tree calculation and is

always in the forwarding state.
