Spanning Tree Commands

4-165

Command Usage

This command sets the maximum time (in seconds) a device can wait without
receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure. All device
ports (except for designated ports) should receive configuration messages at
regular intervals. Any port that ages out STA information (provided in the last
configuration message) becomes the designated port for the attached LAN. If
it is a root port, a new root port is selected from among the device ports
attached to the network.

Example

spanning-tree priority

This command configures the spanning tree priority globally for this switch. Use the
no form to restore the default.

Command Usage

Bridge priority is used in selecting the root device, root port, and designated
port. The device with the highest priority becomes the STA root device.
However, if all devices have the same priority, the device with the lowest MAC
address will then become the root device.

Console(config)#spanning-tree max-age 40
Console(config)#

Console(config)#spanning-tree priority 40000
