SPANNING TREE COMMANDS 
The Switch supports 802.1d STP and 802.1w Rapid STP. The spanning tree commands in the Command Line Interface (CLI) 
are listed (along with the appropriate parameters) in the following table. 
Command Parameters 
config stp  {maxage <value 6-40> | hellotime <value 1-10> | forwarddelay 
<value 4-30> | priority <value 0-61440> | version [rstp | stp] | 
txholdcount <1-10> | fdpdu [enable | disable] 
config stp ports  <portlist> {cost [auto | <value 1-200000000>] | priority <value 0-
240> | migrate [yes | no] | edge [true | false] | p2p [true | false | 
auto] | state [enable | disable]} 
enable stp   
disable stp   
show stp   
show stp ports  {<portlist>} 
Each command is listed, in detail, in the following sections. 
config stp 
Purpose  Used to setup STP and RSTP on the Switch. 
Syntax 
config stp {maxage <value 6-40> | hellotime <value 1-10> | 
forwarddelay <value 4-30> | priority <value 0-61440> | version 
[rstp | stp] | txholdcount <1-10> | fdpdu [enable | disable] 
Description  This command is used to setup the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) 
for the entire switch. 
Parameters 
maxage <value 6-40> − The maximum amount of time (in seconds) 
that the Switch will wait to receive a BPDU packet before 
reconfiguring STP. The default is 20 seconds. 
hellotime <value 1-10> − The time interval between transmission of 
configuration messages by the root device. The default is 2 seconds.
forwarddelay <value 4-30> − The maximum amount of time (in 
seconds) that the root device will wait before changing states. The 
default is 15 seconds. 
priority <value 0-61440> − A numerical value between 0 and 61440 
that is used in determining the root device, root port, and designated 
port. The device with the highest priority becomes the root device.  
The lower the numerical value, the higher the priority. The default is 
32,768. 
version [rstp | stp] - Select the Spanning Tree Protocol version used 
for the Switch. For IEEE 802.1d STP select stp. Select rstp for IEEE 
802.1w Rapid STP. 
txholdcount <1-10> - The maximum number of Hello packets 
transmitted per interval. Default value = 3. 
fbpdu [enable | disable] − Allows the forwarding of STP BPDU
