Configuring all xSTP on DCB interface ports
24
1. Issue the <edit-config> RPC to configure the interface node in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-interface namespace.
2. Under the <interface> node, include the <gigabitethernet>, <tengigabitethernet>,
<fortygigabitethernet>, <hundredgigabitethernet>, or <port-channel> node element.
3. Under the <gigabitethernet>, <tengigabitethernet>, <fortygigabitethernet>,
<hundredgigabitethernet>, or <port-channel> node element, include the following elements.
a. In the <name> element, specify the interface name in [rbridge-id/]slot/port format or
port-channel number.
b. In the <shutdown> element, include the delete operation in the element tag to enable the
port.
c. Include the <spanning-tree> node element, which resides in the
urn:brocade.com:mgmt:brocade-xstp namespace.
4. Under the <spanning-tree> node, include the <edgeport> node element.
5. Under the <edgeport> node, include the empty <edgeportbasic> leaf element to enable the
DCB interface as an edge port.

Enabling the guard root (STP and RSTP)
Use this procedure to enable the guard root on the switch. The guard root feature provides a way to
enforce the root bridge placement in the network. With the guard root enabled on an interface, the
switch is able to restrict which interface is allowed to be the spanning tree root port or the path to
the root for the switch. The root port provides the best path from the switch to the root switch. By
default, guard root is disabled.
