Cisco Catalyst CLI

Run the commands below to enable portfast on all interfaces that are connected to the Dell PowerConnect 8100s.

cat6504E_1#configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

cat6504E_1(config)#interface tengigabitethernet 2/5

cat6504E_1(config-if)#spanning-tree portfast network

Review the bridge priority configurations on each switch to make sure the root bridge of the spanning tree is properly placed. Adjust the root bridge priorities higher or lower to place the root bridge within the Cisco environment.

For Dell, use the command

console(config)#spanning-tree priority xxxxx

On the Cisco Catalyst the commands that can be used are

cat6504E_1(config)#spanning-tree vlan 1 priority xxxxx

or

cat6504E_1(config)#spanning-tree vlan xx root primary
