Configuring the Link Type for an RSTP Port

Context

P2P links can implement rapid convergence. If the two ports connected by a P2P link are root or designated ports, they can transit to the Forwarding state quickly by sending Proposal and Agreement packets. This reduces the forwarding delay.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run interface interface-type interface-number

    The view of the Ethernet interface that participates in spanning tree calculation is displayed.

  3. Run stp point-to-point { auto | force-false | force-true }

    The link type is set for the port.

    By default, a port automatically identifies whether it is connected to a P2P link.

    The following describes the link type that should be set for different interface working modes:

    • If the Ethernet interface works in full-duplex mode, the interface is connected to a P2P link. In this case, force-true can be specified in the command to implement rapid network convergence.

    • If the Ethernet interface works in half-duplex mode, you can run the stp point-to-point force-true command to forcibly set the link type to P2P.
