Disabling Mistp-Pvst+ Or Mistp; Configuring A Root Switch - Cisco WS-C6506 Software Manual

Configuring a Root Switch

Unmapping VLANs from an MISTP Instance
The none keyword is used to unmap the specified VLANs from the MISTP instances to which they are
currently mapped. When you unmap a VLAN from an MISTP instance, the resulting state of all the ports
of the VLAN (if the VLAN exists) is blocking.
To unmap a VLAN or all VLANs from an MISTP instance, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Unmap a VLAN from an MISTP instance.
This example shows how to unmap a VLAN from an MISTP instance:
Console> (enable) set vlan 6 mistp-instance none
Vlan 6 configuration successful

Disabling MISTP-PVST+ or MISTP

When the switch is in MISTP mode, you disable spanning tree on an instance, not for the whole switch.
When you disable spanning tree on an MISTP instance, the instance still exists on the switch, all of the
VLANs mapped to it have all of their ports forwarding, and the instance BPDUs are flooded.
To disable an MISTP instance, perform this task in privileged mode:
Task
Disable an MISTP instance.
This example shows how to disable an MISTP instance:
Console> (enable) set spantree disable mistp-instance 2
MI-STP instance 2 disabled.
