Configuring Spanning Tree Edge Ports On Specified Interfaces - Cisco Nexus 9000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Spanning Tree Edge Ports on Specified Interfaces

This example shows how to configure all ports connected to Layer 2 switches or bridges as spanning tree
network ports:
switch# config t
switch(config)# spanning-tree port type network default
switch(config)# exit
switch#
Configuring Spanning Tree Edge Ports on Specified Interfaces
You can configure spanning tree edge ports on specified interfaces. Interfaces configured as spanning tree
edge ports immediately transition to the forwarding state, without passing through the blocking or learning
states, on linkup.
This command has four states:
• spanning-tree port type edge—This command explicitly enables edge behavior on the access port.
• spanning-tree port type edge trunk—This command explicitly enables edge behavior on the trunk
Note If you enter the spanning-tree port type edge trunk command, the port is configured as an edge port
even in the access mode.
• spanning-tree port type normal—This command explicitly configures the port as a normal spanning
• no spanning-tree port type—This command implicitly enables edge behavior if you define the
Before You Begin
Before you configure the spanning port type, you should do the following:
• Ensure that STP is configured.
• Ensure that you are configuring the ports correctly as to the device to which the port is connected.

the edge ports globally, the no spanning-tree port type command is equivalent to the spanning-tree
