5.2.1.4 set spantree version
Use this command to set the version of the Spanning Tree protocol to RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree
Protocol) or to STP 802.1D-compatible.
set spantree version {rstp | stpcompatible}
Syntax Description
Command Defaults
None.
Command Mode
Read-Write.
Example
This example shows how to change the Spanning Tree version from the default of RSTP to STP:
NOTE: In most networks, Spanning Tree version should not be changed from its default
setting of rstp (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol) mode. RSTP mode is fully compatible
and interoperable with legacy STP 802.1D bridges. However, setting the version to
stpcompatible mode will cause the bridge to transmit only 802.1D BPDUs and will
prevent non-edge ports from rapidly transitioning to forwarding state.
rstp Specifies Spanning Tree version 802.1w (RSTP).
stpcompatible Specifies STP 802.1D-compatible.
Matrix>set spantree version stpcompatible
Success setting Spanning Tree version to STPCOMPATIBLE.
