the

no form of this command.
spanning-tree mode { mst | pvst | rapid-pvst }
no spanning-tree mode
Syntax Description
Defaults The default mode is rapid PVST+.
Command Modes
Global configuration
Command History
Usage Guidelines The switch supports PVST+, rapid PVST+, and MSTP, but only one version can be active at any time:
All VLANs run PVST+, all VLANs run rapid PVST+, or all VLANs run MSTP.
When you enable the MST mode, RSTP is automatically enabled.
Caution
Changing spanning-tree modes can disrupt traffic because all spanning-tree instances are stopped for the
previous mode and restarted in the new mode.
You can verify your setting by entering the show running-config privileged EXEC command.
Examples This example shows to enable MST and RSTP on the switch:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree mode mst
This example shows to enable PVST+ on the switch:
Switch(config)# spanning-tree mode pvst
