spanning-tree

This command enables the Spanning Tree Algorithm globally for the switch. Use the no form to disable it.

Syntax

[no] spanning-tree

Default Setting

Spanning tree is enabled.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other bridging devices (that is,
