Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to configure an interface that connects to a switch as a spanning tree network port.
Bridge Assurance runs only on Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) network ports.
Note If you mistakenly configure ports connected to hosts as STP network ports and enable Bridge Assurance,
those ports will automatically move into the blocking state.
Note Bridge Assurance is enabled by default, and all interfaces configured as spanning tree network ports have
Bridge Assurance enabled.
To configure a port as a spanning tree network port, use the spanning-tree port type network command.
To remove this configuration, use the spanning-tree port type normal command. When you use the no
spanning-tree port type command, the software returns the port to the global default setting for network
port types.
You can configure all ports that are connected to switches as spanning tree network ports by default by
entering the spanning-tree port type network default command.
The default spanning tree port type is normal.
