Creating an MSTP Process
Context
A process ID uniquely identifies an MSTP process. After the ports on an MSTP-enabled device are bound to different processes, the switch performs MSTP calculation based on processes, with only relevant ports in each process taking part in MSTP calculation. To create an MSTP process, perform the following procedure on the devices connected to access rings.
Procedure
- Run system-view
The system view is displayed.
- Run stp process process-id
An MSTP process is created and the MSTP process view is displayed.
- Run stp mode mstp
A working mode is configured for the MSTP process.
The default mode is MSTP.
A default MSTP process with the ID 0 is established when a device starts. MSTP configurations in the system view and interface view belong to this process. The default working mode of this process is MSTP.
To add an interface to an MSTP process whose ID is not 0, run the stp process command followed by the stp binding process command.
