â–
Be careful when switching between spanning tree modes. Changing
modes stops all spanning-tree instances for the previous mode and restarts
the system in the new mode, temporarily disrupting user traffic.
Example
The following example configures the switch to use Rapid Spanning Tree:
Console(config)#spanning-tree mode rstp
Console(config)#
spanning-tree
mst configuration
This command changes to Multiple Spanning Tree (MST) configuration mode.
Default Setting
No VLANs are mapped to any MST instance.
The region name is set the switch’s MAC address.
Command Mode
Global Configuration
Example
Console(config)#spanning-tree mst configuration
Console(config-mstp)#
