Issue
User already knows Cisco IOS format and wants translation to mstpd (spanning-tree daemon for Linux).
Please refer to the spanning tree protocol documentation for more information.
You can find the Cisco Configuration Guide used to interpret their commands here.
Spanning Tree Translation Table
| Cumulus Linux | Cisco Systems IOS | Description |
mstpctl-maxage 20-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id max-age 20-global configuration command |
Sets the bridge/VLAN maximum age to <max_age> seconds. The default is 20 for both Operating Systems. |
mstpctl-fdelay 15-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id forward-time seconds-global configuration command |
Sets the bridge/VLAN forward delay to <time> seconds. The default is 15 for both Operating Systems. |
mstpctl-maxhops 20-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root primary [ diameter net-diameter [ hello-time seconds ]]-global confgiuration command |
Sets the bridge's maximum hops to <max_hops>. The default on Cumulus Linux is 20. On Cisco the range is 2 to 7 with the default being 7. |
mstpctl-txholdcount 6-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree transmit hold-count value -global confgiuration command |
Sets the bridge/VLAN transmit hold count to <tx_hold_count>. The default is 6 for both Operating Systems. Cisco describes this as "the number of BPDUs that can be sent before pausing for 1 second." |
mstpctl-forcevers rstp-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree mode{ pvst | mst | rapid-pvst }-global configuration command |
Sets the bridge/VLAN to a particular spanning-tree mode (MST, RSTP, etc) |
mstpctl-treeprio 32768-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id priority priority-global configuration command |
Configure the switch's priority of a bridge/VLAN. The default for both operating systems is 32768. The range is a number between 0 and 65535 |
mstpctl-hello 2-configured under the bridge |
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id hello-time seconds-global configuration command |
Sets the bridge/VLAN hello time to <time> seconds. The default is 2 for both operating systems. |
mstpctl-portpathcost swp1=0 swp2=0-configured under the bridge mstpctl-portpathcost 10-configured under an interface stanza |
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id cost cost -interface configuration command |
Configure the cost for a bridge/VLAN. The range is 1 to 200000000. For Cisco the cost is derived from the media speed of the interface. On Cumulus Linux the default is 0. |
mstpctl-portadminedge swp1=no swp2=no -configured under the bridge mstpctl-portadminedge yes -configured under the interface |
spanning-tree portfast default -global configuration command spanning-tree portfast -interface configuration command |
Immediately brings an interface configured as an access or trunk port to the forwarding state from a blocking state, bypassing the listening and learning states. |
mstpctl-portautoedge swp1=yes swp2=yes-configured under the bridge mstpctl-portautoedge yes-configured under interface |
No Comparable Command |
Reception of BPDUs on a port determines whether port is an edge port or not. When the port is receiving no BPDUs it becomes an edge port. |
mstpctl-portp2p swp1=no swp2=no -configured under the bridge mstpctl-portp2p yes -configured under the interface |
spanning-tree link-type { point-to-point | shared }
-interface configuration command |
Enables/disables the point-to-point detection mode of the port <port> in bridge <bridge>. The default is auto on Cumulus Linux. On Cisco the link-type is determined by the duplex settings (full is p2p and half is shared). |
mstpctl-portrestrrole swp1=no swp2=no-configured under the bridge mstpctl-portrestrrole yes-configured under the interface |
spanning-tree guard root -interface configuration command |
Enables/disables the ability of the port <port> in bridge <bridge> to take the root role. The default is no. |
mstpctl-bpduguard swp1=no swp2=no-configured under the bridge mstpctl-bpduguard yes-configured under the interface |
spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default-global configuration command, however only affects ports configured with spanning-tree portfast |
Enables/disables the BPDU guard configuration |
mstpctl-portbpdufilter swp1=yes swp2=yes-configured under the bridge mstpctl-portbpdufilter yes-configured under the interface |
spanning-tree portfast bpdufilter default-global configuration command, however only affects ports configured with spanning-tree portfast |
Enables bpdufilter on a switch port, which filters BPDUs in both directions. |
mstpctl-portrestrtcn swp1=no swp2=no-configured under the bridge mstpctl-portrestrtcn yes-configured under the interface |
no equivalent | Enables/disables the ability of the port <port> in bridge <bridge> to propagate received topology change notifications. The default is no. |
mstpctl-portnetwork swp1=no-configured under the bridge mstpctl-portnetwork yes-configured under the interface |
spanning-tree bridge assurance-global configuration command |
Enables/disables the bridge assurance capability |
mstpctl-treeportprio swp3=128-configured under the bridge mstpctl-treeportprio 128-configured under the interface |
spanning-tree port-priority priority-configured under the interface |
Configure the port priority for an interface. The default for both operating systems is 128. |
