Command Usage
◆ When enabled, BPDUs are flooded to all other ports on the switch or to all other
ports within the receiving port’s native VLAN as specified by the spanning-tree
system-bpdu-flooding command.
◆ The spanning-tree system-bpdu-flooding command has no effect if BPDU
flooding is disabled on a port by the spanning-tree port-bpdu-flooding
command.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree port-bpdu-flooding
Console(config-if)#

Command Mode
Interface Configuration (Ethernet, Port Channel)
Command Usage
◆ This command defines the priority for the use of a port in the Spanning Tree
Algorithm. If the path cost for all ports on a switch are the same, the port with
the highest priority (that is, lowest value) will be configured as an active link in
the spanning tree.
◆ Where more than one port is assigned the highest priority, the port with lowest
numeric identifier will be enabled.
Example
Console(config)#interface ethernet 1/5
Console(config-if)#spanning-tree port-priority 0
