Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree Features
This chapter describes how to configure optional spanning-tree features on the Catalyst 3750-X or
3560-X switch. You can configure all of these features when your switch is running the per-VLAN
spanning-tree plus (PVST+). You can configure only the noted features when your switch or switch stack
is running the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) or the rapid per-VLAN spanning-tree plus
(rapid-PVST+) protocol. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a Catalyst 3750-X or 3560-X
standalone switch and to a Catalyst 3750-X switch stack.
For information on configuring the PVST+ and rapid PVST+, see Chapter 1, “Configuring STP.” For
information about the Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and how to map multiple VLANs to the
same spanning-tree instance, see Chapter 1, “Configuring MSTP.”
Note For complete syntax and usage information for the commands used in this chapter, see the command
reference for this release.
