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.

spanning-tree loopback-

detection trap

Enables BPDU loopback SNMP trap notification for a

port

IC

spanning-tree mst cost

Configures the path cost of an instance in the MST

IC

spanning-tree mst port-

priority

Configures the priority of an instance in the MST

IC

spanning-tree port-bpdu-

flooding

Floods BPDUs to other ports when global spanning tree

is disabled

IC

spanning-tree port-priority

Configures the spanning tree priority of an interface

IC

spanning-tree root-guard

Prevents a designated port from passing superior

BPDUs

IC

spanning-tree spanning-

disabled

IC

spanning-tree tc-prop-stop

Stops propagating topology changes on an interface

IC

spanning-tree loopback-

detection release

Manually releases a port placed in discarding state by

loopback-detection

PE

spanning-tree protocol-

migration

Re-checks the appropriate BPDU format

PE

show spanning-tree

Shows spanning tree configuration for the common

spanning tree (i.e., overall bridge), a selected

interface, or an instance within the multiple spanning

tree

PE

show spanning-tree mst

configuration

Shows the multiple spanning tree configuration
