Configuring Spanning-Tree Features

Note

The show spanning-tree interface interface-id privileged EXEC command displays information only
for ports that are in a link-up operative state. Otherwise, you can use the show running-config
privileged EXEC command to confirm the configuration.

To return to the default setting, use the no spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] cost interface configuration
command. For information on how to configure load sharing on trunk ports by using spanning-tree path
costs, see the

“Configuring Trunk Ports for Load Sharing” section on page 13-24

.

Configuring the Switch Priority of a VLAN

You can configure the switch priority and make it more likely that a standalone switch or a switch in the
stack will be chosen as the root switch.

Note

Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, we recommend that you use the
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root primary and the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root secondary global
configuration commands to modify the switch priority.

Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch priority of a VLAN.
This procedure is optional.

To return to the default setting, use the no spanning-tree vlan vlan-id priority global configuration
command.

Command

Purpose

Step 1

configure terminal

Enter global configuration mode.

Step 2

spanning-tree vlan vlan-id priority priority

Configure the switch priority of a VLAN.

For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified by
VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a
hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The
range is 1 to 4094.

For priority, the range is 0 to 61440 in increments of
4096; the default is 32768. The lower the number, the
more likely the switch will be chosen as the root switch.

Valid priority values are 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384,
20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056,
49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440. All other values are
rejected.

Step 3

end

Return to privileged EXEC mode.

Step 4

show spanning-tree vlan vlan-id

Verify your entries.

Step 5

copy running-config startup-config

(Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
