Note If you mistakenly configure ports connected to hosts as STP network ports and enable Bridge Assurance, those ports will automatically move into the blocking state. Note Bridge Assurance is enabled by default, and all interfaces configured as spanning tree network ports have Bridge Assurance enabled.

When you use the no spanning-tree port type command, the software returns the port to the global default setting for network port types. You can configure all ports that are connected to switches as spanning tree network ports by default by entering the spanning-tree port type network default command. The default spanning tree port type is normal. 2-82 Cisco Nexus 5000 Series Command Reference OL-16599-01
