Command History
Usage Guidelines The port can accept both prestandard and standard BPDUs. If the neighbor types are mismatched, only
the common and internal spanning tree (CIST) runs on this interface.
Note If a switch port is connected to a switch running prestandard Cisco IOS software, you must use the
spanning-tree mst pre-standard interface configuration command on the port. If you do not configure
the port to send only prestandard BPDUs, the Multiple STP (MSTP) performance might diminish.
When the port is configured to automatically detect prestandard neighbors, the prestandard flag always
appears in the show spanning-tree mst commands.
Examples This example shows how to configure a port to send only prestandard BPDUs:
Switch(config-if)# spanning-tree mst pre-standard
You can verify your settings by entering the show spanning-tree mst privileged EXEC command.
