802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP) and 802.1d Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Executing spanning-tree alone enables STP. Executing spanning-tree with one
or more of the above "STP Operating Parameters" does not enable STP. It only
configures the STP parameters (regardless of whether STP is actually running
(enabled) on the switch).
spanning-tree
Syntax:
priority <0 - 65355>
maximum-age <6 - 40 seconds>
hello-time <1 - 10 seconds>
forward-delay <4 - 30 seconds>
Default: See table 13-3 on page 13-24.
For example, to configure a maximum-age of 30 seconds and a hello-time of 3
seconds for STP:
Reconfiguring Per-Port STP Operation on the Switch. This command
enables STP (if not already enabled) and configures the following per-port
parameters:
Table 13-4. Per-Port STP Parameters
Name Default
path-cost Ethernet: 100

100 Fx: 0
Gigabit: 5
priority 128
mode norm
You can also include STP general parameters in this command. See "Recon-
figuring General STP Operation on the Switch" on page 13-24.
802.1p Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP)
Range Function
1 - 65535 Assigns an individual port cost that the switch uses
to determine which ports are the forwarding ports.
0 - 255 Used by STP to determine the port(s) to use for
forwarding. The port with the lowest number has
the highest priority.
norm Specifies whether a port progresses through the
- or - listening, learning, and forwarding (or blocking)
fast states ("norm" mode) or transitions directly to the
- or - forwarding state ("fast" mode).
