Cli: Viewing And Configuring Fast-Uplink Stp - HP ProCurve 5300xl Series Management Manual

as an Edge
Figure 6-21. Example Topology for the Listing Shown in Figure 6-22
In figure 6-20:
• Port A1 and Trk1 (trunk 1; formed from ports 2 and 3) are redundant
fast-uplink STP links, with trunk 1 forwarding (the active link) and
port A1 blocking (the backup link). (To view the configuration for port
A1 and Trk1, see figure 6-18 on page 6-37.)
• If the link provided by trunk 1 fails (on both ports), then port A1 begins
forwarding in fast-uplink STP mode.
• Ports A5, A6, and A24 are connected to end nodes and do not form
redundant links.

CLI: Viewing and Configuring Fast-Uplink STP

Using the CLI to View Fast-Uplink STP. You can view fast-uplink STP
using the same commands that you would use for standard STP opera­
show
tion:
Syntax: show spanning-tree
Lists STP status.
Syntax: show spanning-tree config
Lists STP configuration for the switch and for individual
ports.
For example, figures 6-21 and 6-22 illustrate a possible topology, STP status
listing, and STP configuration for a switch with:
■ STP enabled and the switch operating as an Edge switch
Port A1 and trunk 1 (Trk1) configured for fast-uplink STP operation
■
Several other ports connected to PC or workstation end nodes
