Spanning tree is enabled.

Command Mode

Global Configuration

Command Usage

The Spanning Tree Algorithm 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

The following example enables the spanning tree algorithm for this switch:

Console(config)#spanning-tree

Console(config)#

4.3.11.2spanning-tree mode

Use this command to select the spanning tree mode for this switch. Use the no form to restore the default.

Syntax

spanning-tree mode {stp rstp}

no spanning-tree mode
