clear spanning-tree detected-protocol

To restart the protocol migration, use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocol command. With no
arguments, the command is applied to every port of the switch.

Usage Guidelines Rapid per VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (Rapid PVST+) and Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) have built-in
compatibility mechanisms that allow them to interact properly with other versions of IEEE spanning tree
or other regions. For example, a switch running Rapid PVST+ can send 802.1D bridge protocol data
units (BPDUs) on one of its ports when it is connected to a legacy device. An MST switch can detect
that a port is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU or an MST BPDU that is
associated with a different region.
These mechanisms are not always able to revert to the most efficient mode. For example, a Rapid PVST+
switch that is designated for a legacy 802.1D bridge stays in 802.1D mode even after the legacy bridge
has been removed from the link. Similarly, an MST port assumes that it is a boundary port when the
bridges to which it is connected have joined the same region.
To force a port to renegotiate with its neighbors, enter the clear spanning-tree detected-protocol
command.
