Chapter 5 Spanning Tree Protocol Commands

This section describes the spanning tree protocol (STP) commands available in the 7200
Series Managed Switch CLI. STP helps prevent network loops, duplicate messages, and
network instability.
The STP Commands section includes the following topics:
• Section 5.1 "STP Configuration Commands" on page 5-1
• Section 5.2 "STP Show Commands" on page 5-9
The commands in this section are in one of two functional groups:

configuration command, there is a show command that displays the configuration
setting.
