show spanning-tree
Spanning tree information is displayed.
3. Check the spanning tree information and make sure that settings are correct, as
follows:
STP Enabled: Yes
Force Version: RSTP-operation
4. If settings are correct, no further configuration is required.
5. If settings are not correct, you have the following options:
• If you have one switch only and the switch is not connected to any other
switches, these spanning tree settings are recommended, but not required. You
should make the correct settings at your next opportunity when it is convenient.
• If your switch is connected to another switch, either because you have a
multi-switch K2 Storage System or for any other reason, these spanning tree
settings are required. You must correct your spanning tree settings as soon as
possible.
6. Changing spanning tree settings requires a restart of the switch, so you must make
the settings while the K2 Storage System is offline. When you can take your system
offline, continue with the next procedure.
