Synopsis
protocol spanning-tree
[

|
rstp
|
stp
]
no protocol spanning-tree
Operands
mstp
Specifies the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP).
rstp
Specifies the Rapid Spanning Tree (RSTP).
stp
Specifies the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
Defaults
By default, STP is not enabled. STP is not required in a loop-free topology.
Command
Modes
Global configuration mode
Description
Use this command to create a context for the protocol specified. Use the
no protocol spanning-tree
command to delete the context and all the configurations defined within the context or protocol for
the interface.
Usage
Guidelines
Consider enabling STP to detect or avoid loops. You must turn off one form of STP before turning on
another form.
Packet drops or packet flooding may occur if you do not enable xSTP on all devices connected on
both sides of parallel links.
Examples
To enable the Spanning Tree Protocol:
switch(config)#
protocol spanning-tree stp
