Adding An Interface To The Spanning Tree Group - Dell S4820T Configuration Manual

To view the spanning tree configuration and the interfaces that are participating in STP, use the show
spanning-tree 0 command from EXEC privilege mode. If a physical interface is part of a port channel,
only the port channel is listed in the command output.
