ACTIVATE RSTP
Syntax
activate rstp
Parameters
None.
Description
Use this command to designate RSTP as the active spanning tree on the
switch. Once you have selected RSTP, you can enable or disable it using
the ENABLE RSTP and DISABLE RSTP commands. RSTP is active on a
switch only after you have designated it as the active spanning tree with
this command and enabled it with the ENABLE RSTP command.
Note
A change to the active spanning tree protocol with this command
will reboot the switch.
When you activate RSTP, a prompt is displayed inquiring if you want to
enable or disable the protocol when it is activated. If you enable the
protocol, the management software designates RSTP as the active
spanning tree protocol on the switch and enables it so that it is
immediately active after the switch reboots. If you choose not to enable
it, the management software designates RSTP as the active spanning
tree protocol on the switch, but does not enable it. The latter selection is
appropriate if you want to configure RSTP parameter settings before
enabling the protocol on the switch. To enable RSTP, use ENABLE RSTP
on page 151.
Example
The following command designates RSTP as the active spanning tree:
