Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree Features
Enabling Cross-Stack UplinkFast
Before enabling CSUF, make sure your stack switches are properly connected. For more information,
see the Connecting the Stack Ports section on page 12-8.
The CSUF feature is supported only when the switch is running PVST.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable CSUF:
To disable CSUF on an interface, use the no spanning-tree stack-port interface configuration
command. To disable UplinkFast on the switch and all its VLANs, use the no spanning-tree uplinkfast
global configuration command.
Command Purpose
Step1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step2 spanning-tree uplinkfast [max-update-rate
pkts-per-second]Enable UplinkFast on the switch.
(Optional) For max-update-rate pkts-per-second, specify the
number of packets per second at which update packets are sent. The
range is 0 to 65535; the default is 150 packets per second.
Step1 interface interface-id Enter interface configuration mode, and specify the GBIC interface
on which to enable CSUF.
Step2 spanning-tree stack-port Enable CSUF on only one stack-port GBIC interface.
The stack port connects to the GigaStack GBIC multidrop
backbone. If you try to enable CSUF on a Fast Ethernet or a
Gigabit-capable Ethernet port, you receive an error message .
If CSUF is already enabled on an interface and you tr y to e nab le it
on another interface, you receive an error messag e. Y ou mu st disable
CSUF on the first interface before enabling it on a new interface.
Use this command only on access switches.
Step3 end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step4 show running-config Verify your entries.
Step5 copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
