Distributed Spanning Tree Commands

bridge bpdu-switching

Enables the switching of Spanning Tree BPDU on the flat mode Common and Internal Spanning Tree

(CIST) instance or for an individual VLAN instance if the switch is running in the 1x1 mode.

bridge [instance] bpdu-switching {enable | disable}

Syntax Definitions

By default, BPDU switching is disabled for an instance.

Platforms Supported

OmniSwitch 6250

Usage Guidelines

Specifying the BPDU switching status for a VLAN does not depend on the current VLAN Spanning

Tree status. For example, setting the BPDU switching status to enabled is allowed on a VLAN that also

has Spanning Tree enabled.

The bridge bpdu-switching command is an implicit Spanning Tree command. When issued in the 1x1

mode, the instance number specified implies a VLAN ID. When issued in the flat mode, the instance

number specified implies an MSTI number.

If an instance is not specified with this command, the BPDU switching status is configured for the flat

mode CIST instance by default regardless of which mode (flat or 1x1) is active on the switch.

Note that if the switch is running in the flat mode, specifying a value greater than 1 for the instance

will return an error message. BPDU switching is only configured for the flat mode instance (bridge 1),

regardless of which protocol is active (STP, RSTP, or MSTP).
