Spanning Tree Algorithm Configuration

Web – Click Spanning Tree, STA, Configuration. Modify the required attributes, and click Apply.

CLI – This example enables Spanning Tree Protocol, and then configures the STA parameters.

Console(config)#spanning-tree	4-126
Console(config)#spanning-tree priority 40000	4-129
Console(config)#spanning-tree hello-time 5	4-128
Console(config)#spanning-tree forward-time 20	4-127
Console(config)#spanning-tree max-age 38	4-128
Console(config)#spanning-tree pathcost method long	4-130
Console(config)#spanning-tree transmission-limit 4	4-130

The STA Port Information and STA Trunk Information pages display the current status of ports and trunks in the Spanning Tree.

Command Attributes

•Spanning Tree – Shows if STA has been enabled on this interface.

•STA Status – Displays current state of this port within the Spanning Tree:

-Discarding - Port receives STA configuration messages but does not forward packets.

-Learning - Port has transmitted configuration messages for an interval set by the Forward Delay parameter without receiving contradictory information. Port address table is cleared, and the port begins learning addresses.

-Forwarding - Port forwards packets, and continues learning addresses.
