enable stpd ports
ExtremeWare Software 7.3.0 Command Reference Guide 1035
enable stpd ports
enable stpd <spanning tree name> ports <portlist>
Description
Enables the STP protocol on one or more ports.
Syntax Description
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
If STPD is enabled for a port, Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) will be generated on that port if STP
is enabled for the associated STPD.
You must create and configure one or more STP domains before you can use the
enable stpd ports
command. Use the
create stpd <name>
command to create an STP domain. If you have considerable
knowledge and experience with STP, you can configure the STPD using the
configure stpd
commands. However, the default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
On a modular switch,
<portlist>
can be a list of slots and ports. On a stand-alone switch,
<portlist>
can be one or more port numbers. For a detailed explanation of port specification, see
“Modular Switch
Numerical Ranges” or “Stand-alone Switch Numerical Ranges” in Chapter 1.
Example
The following command enables port 4 on an STPD named Backbone_st on a stand-alone switch:
enable stpd backbone_st ports 4
The following command enables slot 2, port 4 on an STPD named Backbone_st on a modular switch:
enable stpd backbone_st ports 2:4
