ACTIVATE MSTP
Syntax
activate mstp
Parameters
None.
Description
This command designates MSTP as the active spanning tree on the
switch. Only one spanning tree protocol (that is, STP, RSTP, or MSTP) can
be active on the switch at a time.
Note
Changing the active spanning tree protocol reboots the switch.
When you activate MSTP, a prompt is displayed inquiring if you want to
enable or disable the protocol when it is activated. If you select to enable
the protocol, the management software designates MSTP as the active
spanning tree protocol and enables it so that it is immediately active
after the switch reboots. If you choose not to enable it, the management
software designates MSTP as the active spanning tree protocol on the
switch, but does not enable it. The latter selection is appropriate if you
want to configure MSTP parameter settings before enabling the
protocol on the switch. To enable MSTP, use ENABLE MSTP on page
169.
Example
The following command designates MSTP as the active spanning tree:
activate mstp
