SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP)

CHAPTER 12: SPANNING TREE PROTOCOL (STP)

Example 12-3shows how to enable STP using the above commands.

The priority command specifies the port or switch level priority. When a port(s) are specified the priority is associated with ports and their value is 0 to 255. If no ports are specified, then the switch (bridge) priority is specified and its value is 0 to 65535. This value is used along with the switch MAC address to determine which switch in the network is the root device. Lower values mean higher priority. The default value is 32768.

Example 12-3: Enabling STP

ML1200#show active-stp

Current Active Mode: RSTP.

RSTP is Disabled.

ML1200#stp

ERROR: Invalid Command

ML1200#set stp type=stp

STP Mode set to STP.

ML1200#stp

ML1200(stp)##stp enable

Successfully set the STP status

ML1200(stp)##show stp config
