Configuring Spanning Tree Network Ports On Specified Interfaces - Cisco AP775A - Nexus Converged Network Switch 5010 Configuration Manual

About STP Extensions
Step 2
Step 3
This example shows how to configure the Ethernet access interface 1/4 to be a spanning tree edge port:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface ethernet 1/4
switch(config-if)# spanning-tree port type edge

Configuring Spanning Tree Network Ports on Specified Interfaces

You can configure spanning tree network ports on specified interfaces.
Bridge Assurance runs only on spanning tree network ports.
This command has three states:
• spanning-tree port type network—This command explicitly configures the port as a network port. If
• spanning-tree port type normal—This command explicitly configures the port as a normal spanning
• no spanning-tree port type—This command implicitly enables the port as a spanning tree network
A port connected to a host that is configured as a network port automatically moves into the blocking

state.
Before You Begin
Ensure that STP is configured.
Ensure that the interface is connected to switches or routers.

Configuring Spanning Tree Network Ports on Specified Interfaces
Purpose
Specifies the interface to configure, and enters the interface
configuration mode.
Configures the specified access interfaces to be spanning
edge ports. Edge ports immediately transition to the
forwarding state without passing through the blocking or
learning state at linkup. By default, spanning tree ports are
normal port types.
Purpose
Enters configuration mode.
Specifies the interface to configure, and enters the interface
configuration mode. The interface can be a physical
Ethernet port.
