Rapier Switch Software Release 2.2.1
C613-02013-00 Rev A
To restore default port pathcost and priority, use the command:
SET STP PORT={port-list|ALL} DEFAULT
When an STP is enabled in a looped or meshed network, it disables and
enables particular ports belonging to it dynamically, to eliminate redundant
links. All ports in a VLAN belong to the same STP, and their participation in
STP configuration, and hence the possibility of them being elected to the STP’s
active topology is enabled by default. To enable or disable particular ports, use
the commands:
ENABLE STP PORT={port-list|ALL}
DISABLE STP PORT={port-list|ALL}
To display STP port information, use the command:
SHOW STP PORT[={port-list|ALL}]
