Description Use this command to disable spanning tree on the interface or VLAN. Use the no spanning-tree
shutdown command to enable spanning tree on the interface or VLAN.
Once all of the interface ports have been configured for a VLAN, you can enable spanning tree
protocol (STP) for all members of the VLAN with a single command. Whichever protocol is currently
selected is used by the VLAN. Only one type of STP can be active at a time.
A physical interface port can be a member of multiple VLANs. For example, a physical port can be a
member of VLAN 1002 and VLAN 55 simultaneously. In addition, VLAN 1002 can have STP enabled
and VLAN 55 can have STP disabled simultaneously.
