Sets the single address to which a bridge listens to receive Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) information. Each STP bridge on the network sends STP packets to the group address. Every STP bridge on the network receives STP packets that were sent to the group address, regardless of which bridge sent the packets. The current value is shown in the stpGroupAddress field of the bridge display.

Valid Minimum Abbreviation

b sp stpg

Important Considerations

Because there is no industry standard for a group address, products from different vendors may respond to different group addresses. If STP does not seem to be working in a mixed-vendor environment, other vendors’ products may use different group addresses as their defaults. If that is true, set the STP group address to be the same across all bridges in the network.

Before you can modify the STP group address, you must disable STP (if it is not already disabled) on the bridge. (See “bridge spanningTree stpState” earlier in this chapter.)
