Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree Features
This chapter describes how to configure optional spanning-tree features on the Catalyst 2960, 2960-S,
or 2960-C switch. You can configure all of these features when your switch is running the per-VLAN
spanning-tree plus (PVST+). You can configure only the noted features when your switch is running the
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) or the rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+)
protocol. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a switch stack.
Stacking is supported only on Catalyst 2960-S switches running the LAN base image.
Note
For information on configuring the PVST+ and rapid PVST+, see
information about the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and how to map multiple VLANs to the
same spanning-tree instance, see
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see the command
reference for this release.
