Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol
The Spanning Tree Protocol () provides a tree topology for any arrangement of bridges. also provides one path
between end stations on a network, eliminating loops. Spanning tree versions supported include Common ,
Multiple , and Rapid .
Classic provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops. For information on
configuring Common , see “CST Port Configuration/Status” on page 249.
Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (M) supports multiple instances of Spanning Tree to efficiently channel VLAN
traffic over different interfaces. Each instance of the Spanning Tree behaves in the manner specified in IEEE
802.1w, Rapid Spanning Tree (R), with slight modifications in the working but not the end effect (chief among
the effects, is the rapid transitioning of the port to ‘Forwarding’). The difference between the R and the
traditional (IEEE 802.1D) is the ability to configure and recognize full duplex connectivity and ports which are
connected to end stations, resulting in rapid transitioning of the port to ‘Forwarding’ state and the suppression
of Topology Change Notification. These features are represented by the parameters ‘pointtopoint’ and
‘edgeport’. M is compatible to both R and . It behaves appropriately to and R bridges. A M bridge can be
configured to behave entirely as a R bridge or a bridge.

Note: For two bridges to be in the same region, the force version should be 802.1S and their
configuration name, digest key, and revision level should match. For more information about regions
and their effect on network topology, refer to the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
