set spantree version

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐only.

Example

This example shows how to display Spanning Tree version information for the device:

C3(su)->show spantree version

Force Version is mstp

set spantree version

Use this command to set the version of the Spanning Tree protocol to MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol), RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) or to STP 802.1D‐compatible.

Syntax

set spantree version {mstp stpcompatible rstp}

Parameters

mstp

Sets the version to STP 802.1s‐compatible.

stpcompatible

Sets the version to STP 802.1D‐compatible.

 

 

rstp

Sets the version to 802.1w‐compatible.

 

 

Defaults

None.

Mode

Switch command, read‐write.

Usage

In most networks, Spanning Tree version should not be changed from its default setting of mstp (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) mode. MSTP mode is fully compatible and interoperable with legacy STP 802.1D and Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP) bridges. Setting the version to stpcompatible mode will cause the bridge to transmit only 802.1D BPDUs, and will prevent non‐edge ports from rapidly transitioning to forwarding state.

Example

This example shows how to globally change the Spanning Tree version from the default of MSTP to RSTP:

C3(su)->set spantree version rstp
