Clear Spanning-Tree Detected-Protocols - Cisco Catalyst 3750 Metro Command Reference Manual

clear spanning-tree detected-protocols

clear spanning-tree detected-protocols
Use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocols privileged EXEC command to restart the protocol
migration process (force the renegotiation with neighboring switches) on all interfaces or on the
specified interface.
Syntax Description interface interface-id
Defaults No default is defined.
Command Modes Privileged EXEC
Command History Release
12.1(14)AX
Usage Guidelines A switch running the rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+) protocol or the Multiple
Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) supports a built-in protocol migration mechanism that enables it to
interoperate with legacy 802.1D switches. If a rapid-PVST+ switch or an MSTP switch receives a legacy
802.1D configuration bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) with the protocol version set to 0, it sends only
802.1D BPDUs on that interface. A multiple spanning-tree (MST) switch can also detect that an interface
is at the boundary of a region when it receives a legacy BPDU, an MST BPDU (version 3) associated
with a different region, or a rapid spanning-tree (RST) BPDU (version 2).
However, the switch does not automatically revert to the rapid-PVST+ or the MSTP mode if it no longer
receives 802.1D BPDUs. It cannot detect whether the legacy switch has been removed from the link
unless the legacy switch is the designated switch. Use the clear spanning-tree detected-protocols
command in this situation.
Examples This example shows how to restart the protocol migration process on a port:
