Command Usage

•

When enabled, BPDUs are flooded to all other ports on the switch or to all other ports within
the receiving port’s native VLAN as specified by the

spanning-tree system-bpdu-flooding

command.

•

The

spanning-tree system-bpdu-flooding

command has no effect if BPDU flooding is disabled

on a port by the spanning-tree port-bpdu-flooding command.

Example

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#spanning-tree port-bpdu-flooding

Console(config-if)#

spanning-tree port-priority

This command configures the priority for the specified interface. Use the no form to restore the
default.

Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)

Command Usage

•

This command defines the priority for the use of a port in the Spanning Tree Algorithm. If the
path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with the highest priority (that is,
lowest value) will be configured as an active link in the spanning tree.

•

Where more than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest numeric
identifier will be enabled.

Example

Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5

Console(config-if)#spanning-tree port-priority 0
