Example

The following example configures the spanning-tree bridge maximum-age to 10 seconds.

Console(config)# spanning-tree max-age 10

spanning-tree priority

The spanning-tree priority Global Configuration mode command configures the spanning-tree priority. The priority value is used to determine which bridge is elected as the root bridge. To reset the default spanning-tree priority use the no form of this command.

Syntax

spanning-tree priority priority

no spanning-tree priority

priority—Priority of the bridge. (Range: 0 - 65535 in steps of 4096)

Default Configuration

The default bridge priority for IEEE STP is 32768.

Command Modes

Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

The priority value must be a multiple of 4096.

The bridge with the lowest priority is elected to be the Root Bridge.

Example

The following example configures spanning-tree priority to 12288.

Console(config)# spanning-tree priority 12288

spanning-tree disable

The spanning-tree disable Interface Configuration mode command disables spanning-tree on a specific port. To enable spanning-tree on a port use, the no form of this command.

Syntax

spanning-tree disable

no spanning-tree disable

Default Configuration

By default, all ports are enabled for spanning-tree.
