Spanning Tree Commands
18
spanning-tree
This command enables the Spanning Tree Algorithm globally for the switch. Use the no form to
disable it.
Syntax
[no] spanning-tree
Default Setting
Spanning tree is enabled.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Command Usage
The Spanning Tree Algorithm (STA) can be used to detect and disable network loops, and to provide
backup links between switches, bridges or routers. This allows the switch to interact with other
bridging devices (that is, an STA-compliant switch, bridge or router) in your network to ensure that
only one route exists between any two stations on the network, and provide backup links which
automatically take over when a primary link goes down.
