Using the Switch Console To Configure STP
In most cases, the default STP parameter settings are adequate. In cases where
they are not, use this procedure to make configuration changes.
C a u t i o n
If you enable STP, it is recommended that you leave the remainder of the STP
parameter settings at their default values until you have had an opportunity
to evaluate STP performance in your network. Because incorrect STP settings
can adversely affect network performance, you should avoid making changes
without having a strong understanding of how STP operates. To learn the
details of STP operation, refer to the IEEE 802.1d standard. For an overview,
see “How STP Operates” on page 6-33.
