SPANNING-TREE ENABLE FORWARD
Syntax
spanning-tree stp|rstp enable forward
no spanning-tree stp|rstp enable forward
Parameters
stp Specifies IEEE 801.Q Spanning-tree protocol (STP).
rstp Specifies IEEE 801.w rapid Rapid Spanning-tree protocol
(RSTP).
enable Makes the current spanning tree protocol the active spanning-
tree protocol.
forward Allows the ports on the switch to transmit and receive traffic
regardless if a spanning tree protocol is enabled on the switch.
Description
Use the SPANNING-TREE ENABLE command to enable STP or RSTP on
the switch. After you have specified a spanning tree protocol, such as
RSTP, all subsequent spanning tree commands in a login session apply to
this spanning tree protocol. To make the specified spanning tree protocol
the active spanning tree mode and enable it on the switch, use the
SPANNING TREE MODE command.
Use the no form of this command to disable the spanning tree protocol on
the switch.
Caution
Allied Telesis recommends using the NO SPANNING-TREE
STP|RSTP ENABLE FORWARD command to disable a spanning
tree protocol. If this command is used without the “FORWARD”
parameter, it disables the spanning-tree protocol and prevents all of
the ports from receiving or transmitting data. This causes loss of
data.
