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.

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, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which automatically take over when a primary link goes down.

Example

This example shows how to enable the Spanning Tree Algorithm for the switch:

Console(config)#spanning-tree
