Disabling the Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol
To disable RSTP on the switch, use the NO SPANNING-TREE RSTP
ENABLE command in the Global Configuration mode. Here is the
command:
awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no spanning-tree rstp enable
To view the current status of RSTP, refer to “Displaying RSTP Settings” on
page 830.
Note
Before disabling the spanning tree protocol on the switch, display
the RSTP states of the ports and disconnect the network cables
from any ports that are in the discarding state. Ports that are in the
discarding state begin to forward traffic again when RSTP is
disabled. Leaving the cables connected may result in broadcast
storms from network loops. To view the states of the ports, refer to
“Displaying RSTP Settings” on page 830.
