ACTIVATE RSTP
Syntax
activate rstp
Parameters
None
Description
Use this command to designate RSTP as the active spanning tree on the
switch. A spanning tree protocol is active on a switch only if you
designate it as the active spanning tree and enable it.
Note
A change to the active spanning tree protocol will reboot the switch.
Some network traffic may be lost.
When you activate RSTP, the management software displays a prompt
asking if you want to enable the spanning tree. If you select yes, the
management software activates RSTP, resets the switch, and, once the
reset process is completed, enables RSTP. If you select no, the
management software activates RSTP and resets the unit, but does not
enable RSTP. You might select the latter if you want to configure RSTP
parameters before enabling spanning tree.
Example
The following command designates RSTP as the active spanning tree:
activate rstp
