Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP)
Multiple spanning tree protocol (MSTP), as implemented by FTOS, conforms to IEEE 802.1s.
This command supports the Dell Force10 E-Series, C-Series, S-Series, Z-Series, and S4810 platforms.
debug spanning-tree mstp
Enable debugging of the multiple spanning tree protocol and view information on the protocol.
C-Series, E-Series, S-Series, Z-Series, S4810
Syntax
debug spanning-tree mstp [all | bpdu interface {in | out} | 
events]
Parameters
all (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword all to debug all spanning tree 
operations.
bpdu 
interface {in | 
out}
(OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword bpdu to debug bridge protocol data 
units (BPDU).
(OPTIONAL) Enter the interface keyword along with the type slot/port 
of the interface you want displayed. Type slot/port options are the 
following:
• For a Fast Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
FastEthernet followed by the slot/port information.
• For a 1-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
GigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port information.
• For a Port Channel interface, enter the keywords port-
channel
 followed by a number. For the C-Series and S-
Series, the range is 1 to 128. For the E-Series, the range is 1 to 
255 for TeraScale and 1 to 512 for ExaScale.
• For a SONET interface, enter the keyword sonet followed by 
the slot/port information.
• For a 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
TenGigabitEthernet followed by the slot/port 
information.
• For a 40-Gigabit Ethernet interface, enter the keyword 
fortyGigE followed by the slot/port information.
Optionally, enter an in or out parameter in conjunction with the 
optional interface:
• For Receive, enter the keyword in.
