Displaying the MST Configuration and Status
To return the port to its default setting, use the
no spanning-tree mst prestandard
interface
configuration command.
Restarting the Protocol Migration Process
A router running MST supports a built-in protocol migration feature that enables it to interoperate with
802.1D routers. If this router receives an 802.1D configuration BPDU (a BPDU with the protocol version
set to 0), it sends only 802.1D BPDUs on that port. An MST router also can detect that a port is at the
boundary of a region when it receives an 802.1D BPDU, an MST BPDU (Version 3) associated with a
different region, or an RST BPDU (Version 2).
However, the router does not automatically revert to the MST mode if it no longer receives 802.1D
BPDUs because it cannot detect whether the 802.1D router has been removed from the link unless the
802.1D router is the designated router. A router also might continue to assign a boundary role to a port
when the router to which it is connected has joined the region.
To restart the protocol migration process (force the renegotiation with neighboring routers) on the router,
use the
clear spanning-tree detected-protocols
privileged EXEC command.
To restart the protocol migration process on a specific interface, use the
clear spanning-tree
detected-protocols interface
interface_id
privileged EXEC command.
Displaying the MST Configuration and Status
To display the spanning-tree status, use one or more of the privileged EXEC commands that are
described in
Table 19-5
.
