Using the CLI to Configure Spanning Tree Protocol

Follow these steps to configure STP using the CLI.
Step 1 Enter show spanningtree port and show spanningtree switch to view the current STP status.
Step 2 If STP is enabled, you must disable it before you can change STP settings. Enter config spanningtree
switch mode disable to disable STP on all ports.
Step 3 Enter one of these commands to configure the STP port administrative mode:
•
•
•
Enter one of these commands to configure the STP port path cost on the STP ports:
Step 4
•
•
Enter config spanningtree port priority 0-255 port-number to configure the port priority on STP ports.
Step 5
The default priority is 128.
If necessary, enter config spanningtree switch bridgepriority 0-65535 to configure the controller's
Step 6
STP bridge priority. The default bridge priority is 32768.
If necessary, enter config spanningtree switch forwarddelay 4-30 to configure the controller's STP
Step 7
forward delay in seconds. The default forward delay is 15 seconds.
If necessary, enter config spanningtree switch hellotime 1-10 to configure the controller's STP hello
Step 8
time in seconds. The default hello time is 2 seconds.
If necessary, enter config spanningtree switch maxage 6-40 to configure the controller's STP maximum
Step 9
age. The default maximum age is 20 seconds.

config spanningtree port mode off {port-number | all}
config spanningtree port pathcost 1-65535 {port-number | all}—Specifies a path cost from 1 to
65535 to the port.
config spanningtree port mode pathcost auto {port-number | all}—Enables the STP algorithm to
