Spanning Tree Commands

Spanning Tree automatically configures a loop-free topology in a bridged environment. However, note that the bridge on this switch is not VLAN-based and only one spanning tree is allowed regardless of the number of VLANs. The Spanning Tree agent is implemented in conformance to the IEEE 802.1d standard. Once spannning tree is enabled, it remains enabled even through resets or start ups.

Listed below are the configuration commands pertinent to the operation of the Spanning Tree algorithm. Type <sp-tree> to view all the related commands. For spanning tree defaults, see Appendix B, System Defaults”.

get-stp

Retrieve the current state of Spanning Tree. Options are enable or disable.

Note

The default state is disabled for spanning tree.

set-stp

This command enables or disables the Spanning Tree protocol.

Spanning Tree is enabled by default, in accordance with 802.1d.

Enabling or disabling Spanning Tree will not take effect until the

SNMP agent is reset, via warm-reset, cold-reset or a power cycle.
