The listing at the bottom of the output shows the ports in use in the spanning tree. It states the port, port−state,
and priority, as well as whether Fast−Start (PortFast) is enabled.

Field
Description
Spanning tree enabled
Shows that STP is in use
Spanning tree type
Typically the IEEE standard
Designated Root
The 6−byte MAC address for the designated root bridge
Designated Root Priority
The 2−byte priority setting for the root bridge
Designated Root Cost
Total cost to get to the root bridge from this switch (0 indicates the root
switch)
Designated Root Port
The port used to get to the root bridge
Root timers
Timer values of the root bridge or switch; these include the MaxAge,
Hello Time, and Forward Delay timer values
Bridge ID MAC ADDR
The 6−byte address that the switch uses for its bridge ID
Bridge ID Priority
The 2−byte priority of this bridge
Bridge Max Age
The maximum values from the root bridge
Configuring STP on an IOS Command−Based Switch
Unlike the Set/Clear command−based switch, enabling the Spanning Tree Protocol on a Cisco IOS
command−based switch is performed in Global Configuration mode. To enable STP, enter the following
command:
spantree <VLAN list>
In the following example, 5 is the VLAN number and is considered a VLAN−list field; you can include up to
10 VLANs in the list:
spantree 5
Disabling STP on an IOS Command−Based Switch
To disable STP on a VLAN, in Global Configuration mode use this command:
no spantree <VLAN list>
In this example, 5 is the VLAN number and is considered a VLAN−list field:
no spantree 5
