This section describes each new command.

disable mstp port

Syntax DISable MSTP POrt={port-listALL}

where:

■port-listis a port number, range (specified as n-m), or comma-separated list of port numbers and/or ranges. Port numbers start at 1 and end at m, where m is the highest numbered Ethernet switch port, including uplink ports.

Description This new command disables the Multiple Spanning Tree algorithm on the specified ports, or all ports, for both the CIST and all currently configured MSTIs. This command offers a shorter alternative to using the disable mstp cist port command, followed by the disable mstp msti port command.

Example To disable the CIST and all MSTIs on ports 10-15, use the command:

dis mstp po=10-15

enable mstp port
