Usage Guidelines Releases 12.1(13)E and later support chassis with 64 or 1024 MAC addresses. For chassis with 64 MAC
addresses, STP uses the extended system ID plus a MAC address to make the bridge ID unique for each
VLAN.
You cannot disable the extended system ID on chassis that support 64 MAC addresses.
Enabling or disabling the extended system ID updates the bridge IDs of all active STP instances, which
might change the spanning-tree topology.
Examples
This example shows how to enable the extended system ID:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree extend system-id
