Managing the Switch
Type fdb mode ivl to set the switch as an IVL switch.
When in IVL mode, the VLAN ID (VID), MAC address, and port
number are stored in the forwarding database.
To configure per VLAN Spanning Tree
1 Type the privileged set spantree priority priority_value VID to
assign the VLAN priority. The range is from 0 to 65,335. The
default is 16,384.
6000 Switch>set spantree priority 1 3
2 Type set spantree portpri port_number portpriority_value VID
to assign a priority value to a port within a VLAN,. The range is
from 1 to 255. The default is 128.
6000 Switch>set spantree portpri 3 3
3 Port cost can be automatically set to the link speed of the port.
Type set spantree portcost port_number auto VID
6000 Switch>set spantree portcost 3 auto 3
Type set spantree portcost port_number portcost_value VID to
manually assign a portcost to an individual port within a VLAN.
6000 Switch>set spantree portcost 3 1 3
Note Manually set ports are fixed and the path cost does not
change even if the link speed changes. If the media type
changes, the port reverts to auto mode.
4 Type show spantree all to display the current per VLAN Spanning
Tree Configuration.
5 Type set spantree defaults to reset all ports and bridge values
to their default value.
Rapid Reconfiguration
Rapid reconfiguration
• Places a root port on a failed path into a blocking state.
• Selects a non-designated port as the new root.
• Immediately activates that port, passing the listening and
learning states.
Rapid reconfiguration can never be initiated on a bridge that has been
selected as the root bridge because a root bridge has no root ports.
