Syntax Description
Command Defaults
None.
Command Type
Switch command.
Command Mode
Read-Write.
Example
This example shows how to globally change the Spanning Tree version from the default of MSTP
to RSTP:
NOTE:
In most networks, Spanning Tree version should not be changed from its
default setting of
mstp
(Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) mode. MSTP mode is fully
compatible and interoperable with legacy STP 802.1D and Rapid Spanning Tree
(RSTP) bridges. Setting the version to
stpcompatible
mode will cause the bridge to
transmit only 802.1D BPDUs, and will prevent non-edge ports from rapidly transitioning
to forwarding state.
mstp
Sets the version to STP 802.1s-compatible.
stpcompatible
Sets the version to STP 802.1D-compatible.
rstp
Sets the version to 802.1w-compatible.
