How do I disable the STP port on my HP ProCurve?
Technically speaking, you cannot enable/disable STP operation on a per-port basis, as it is a global setting… however the best way to do it is to set a BPDU filter on the port.
What is STP edged port enable?
Use the stp edged-port enable command to configure the ports as edge ports. When the network topology changes, an edge port will not cause a temporary loop. You can enable the port to transition to the forwarding state rapidly by configuring it as an edge port.
What is STP in HP switch?
The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) eliminates Layer 2 loops in networks, by selectively blocking some ports and allowing other ports to forward traffic, based on global (bridge) and local (port) parameters you can configure.
What is the difference between STP RSTP MSTP?
The differences between Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), and Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) are as follows: STP: only supports a single instance. RSTP: supports fast convergence and a single instance. MSTP: includes the advantages of RSTP, and supports multiple instances.
How to check the status of a HP ProCurve port?
That will shut down a port if a strange device is attached. 3. Spanning-Tree. If it detects a loop, it will shut down the port. Use the interfaces to check the status of the “down” port. Check the (CLI) logs in the switch for events. Put a PC on the console port and monitor the switch from reboot to fail for messages.
How does STP work on a HP network switch?
When the switches in your network selects their root bridge, they look at two things, the switch’s MAC-address, and a thing called STP priority. From the factory all switches have the same priority (step 8 of the 16 configurable steps) so the switch with the lowest MAC automatically get’s selected as root.
Why are my HP ProCurve switches not working?
One switch kept getting “dead” ports. The lights would blink, and there would seem to be a connection, but it didn’t work. If you moved the cable to another port, it would work. If you rebooted the switch all ports would work fine…. Today I came in and half the office is down, all over the place.
