commands and also includes command examples.

Enabling/Disabling Spanning Tree on a Port

Spanning Tree is automatically enabled on all eligible ports. When Spanning Tree is disabled on a port,
the port is put in a forwarding state for the specified instance. For example, if a port is associated with
both VLAN 10 and VLAN 20 and Spanning Tree is disabled on the port for VLAN 20, the port state is set
to forwarding for VLAN 20. However, the VLAN 10 instance still controls the port state as it relates to
VLAN 10. This example assumes the switch is running in the per-VLAN Spanning Tree mode.
If the switch is running in the flat Spanning Tree mode, then disabling the port Spanning Tree status
applies across all VLANs associated with the port. The flat mode instance is specified as the instance
associated with the port, even if the port is associated with multiple VLANs.
To change the port Spanning Tree status for a VLAN instance regardless of which mode (per-VLAN or
flat) is active for the switch, use the
enable Spanning Tree on port 8/1 for VLAN 10 and disable STP on port 6/2 for VLAN 20:
-> spantree vlan 10 port 8/1 enable
-> spantree vlan 20 port 6/2 disable
