NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual If STP is enabled for a port, BPDUs are generated and processed on that port if STP is enabled for the associated STPD. You must configure one or more STPDs before you can use the enable stpd ports command. To create an STPD, use the create stpd command. If you have considerable knowledge and experience with STP, you can configure the STPD using the configure stpd commands. However, the default STP parameters are adequate for most networks. Example The following command enables slot 2, port 4 on an STPD named Backbone_st: enable stpd backbone_st ports 2:4 enable stpd rapid-root-failover enable stpd rapid-root-failover Description Enables rapid root failover for faster STP recovery times. Syntax Description stpd_name Specifies an STPD name on the switch. Default Disabled. Usage Guidelines This command is applicable for STPDs operating in 802.1D. If you create an STPD with a unique name, the keyword stpd is optional. To view the status of rapid root failover on the switch, use the show stpd command. The show stpd command displays information about the STPD configuration on the switch including the enable/disable state for rapid root failover. Example The following command enables rapid root fail over on STPD Backbone_st: enable stpd backbone_st rapid-root-failover show stpd show stpd { | detail} Chapter 17. STP Commands | 781
