RSTP Point-To-Point
Status of an Interface
/protocol/rstp/set interface <interface-name>
p2p {forcetrue|forcefalse}
This command indicates whether the interface can do RSTP point-to-point
communications or not. RSTP point-to-point communications is special case
where the interface can communicate with only one other RSTP enabled
device, such as when only two BelAir nodes are connected through a simple
switch. RSTP uses RSTP point-to-point status to optimize performance during
topology changes.
This command sets the administrative value of the RSTP point-to-point status.
The operational value of the RSTP point-to-point status is initially its
administrative value; however, it can be updated later by the BelAir20E bridge
software.
The
<interface-name>
parameter specifies a particular interface, such as
wifi-2-1
.
Setting a value of
forcetrue
forces it to function as a point-to-point link. Setting
a value of
forcefalse
forces it not to function as a point-to-point link.
The default settings vary, depending on the hardware in use, the topology and
whether dynamic path cost is used or not.
Interface RSTP
Configuration
/protocol/rstp/set interface <interface-name>
admin-state {enable|disable}
This command allows or prevents RSTP from affecting the specified interface.
The
<interface-name>
parameter specifies a particular interface, such as
wifi-2-1
.
By default, RSTP affects all enabled interfaces. Setting admin-state to
disable
prevents RSTP from affecting this interface. Setting admin-state to
enable
allows
RSTP to affect this interface.
Changing RSTP Admin
State
/protocol/rstp/
set admin-state {enabled|disabled}
This command lets you enable or disable RSTP functionality. The default setting
is
enabled
.
