Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
CLI: Configuring STP
For example, to configure a maximum-age of 30 seconds and a hello-time of
3 seconds for STP:
Reconfiguring Per-Port STP Operation on the Switch. This command
enables STP (if not already enabled) and configures the following per-port
parameters:

You can also include STP general parameters in this command. See "Recon-
figuring General STP Operation on the Switch" on page 16-7.

Function
to determine which ports are the forwarding ports.
Used by STP to determine the port(s) to use for
forwarding. The port with the lowest number has
the highest priority.
Specifies whether a port progresses through the
listening, learning, and forwarding (or blocking)
states ("norm" mode) or transitions directly to the
forwarding state ("fast" mode).
(For information on when to use Fast mode, see
"STP Fast Mode" on page 16-10.)
