Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol

set port spantree force-protocol-migration

Command Mode

Global Configuration.

Description

Forces a bridge port to send out RSTP BPDUs. By forcing a bridge port to

 

send RSTP BPDUs, you can determine whether legacy 802.1D bridges are

 

present on a LAN segment.

 

If you remove a legacy 802.1D bridge from a segment, other RSTP bridges

 

on the segment cannot detect the removal so they continue sending STP

 

BPDUs. However, if you force a bridge port to send RSTP BPDUs, they

 

trigger other RSTP bridges on the segment to generate RSTP BPDUs again.

 

If the switch is running common Spanning Tree, this command has no

 

effect.

Syntax

set port spantree force-protocol-migration <mod-swport-range>[...,<mod-
