Spanning Tree Configuration - HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Command Reference Manual

IMPORTANT: All ports must belong to at least one VLAN. Any port which is removed from a VLAN and
which is not a member of any other VLAN is automatically added to default VLAN #1. You cannot
remove a port from VLAN #1 if the port has no membership in any other VLAN. Also, you cannot add a
port to more than one VLAN unless the port has VLAN tagging turned on. Refer to the tag command, in
the "Port Configuration" section, earlier in this chapter.

Spanning Tree Configuration

Command: /cfg/stp
[Spanning Tree Group 1 Menu]
The GbE2 Interconnect Switch supports IEEE 802.1D Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and is
compatible with Cisco® PVST+ and Cisco PVST, when the other device is configured as
untagged or configured to use 802.1q tagging. STP is used to prevent loops in the network
topology. There are 16 spanning tree groups that can be configured on the GbE2 Interconnect
Switch. This command is turned on by default.
NOTE: Refer to the HP ProLiant BL p-Class GbE2 Interconnect Switch Application Guide for
