Configuring STP
Note The show spanning-tree command displays only information for ports with an active link (green light
is on). If there is no port with an active link, you can issue a show running-config command to confirm
the configuration.
Configuring the Bridge Priority of a VLAN
Note Exercise care when configuring the bridge priority of a VLAN. In most cases, we recommend that you
enter the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID root primary and the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID root
secondary commands to modify the bridge priority.
To configure the spanning tree bridge priority of a VLAN, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure the bridge priority of VLAN 200 to 33,792:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# spanning-tree vlan 200 priority 33792
Switch(config)# end
Switch#
This example shows how to verify the configuration:
Switch# show spanning-tree vlan 200 bridge brief

Configuring the Hello Time
Note Exercise care when configuring the hello time. In most cases, we recommend that you use the
spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID root primary and the spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID root secondary
commands to modify the hello time.
