Using Packet Over SONET (POS) Modules
December 2000 6 - 19
USING THE CLI
To enable STP on a POS port, enter commands such as the following:
BigIron(config)# interface pos 2/1
BigIron(config-if-2/1)# spanning-tree
These commands change the CLI to the configuration level for the POS port, then enable STP on the VLAN.
Syntax: [no] spanning-tree
Enabling or Disabling Fast Uplink Span on the Port
To enable Fast Uplink on a pair of POS ports, use the following CLI method.
USING THE CLI
To configure a group of POS ports for Fast Uplink Span, enter a command such as the following:
BigIron(config)# fast uplink-span pos 2/1 to 2/2
This command configures POS ports 2/1 and 2/2 as a Fast Uplink Span group.
Syntax: [no] fast uplink-span [pos <portnum> [pos <portnum> | to <portnum>]]
For more information about this feature, see Configuring Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and IronSpan on
page 12-1.
Displaying Spanning Tree Information
To display STP information for a VLAN, enter a command such as the following at any level of the CLI:
BigIron(config)# vlan 10

STP information for the entire device, enter the following command at any level of the CLI:
BigIron(config)# show span
This command shows the same information as the command shown above, but for all the VLANs on the device.
For a description of the fields in this display, see Displaying STP Information for an Entire Device on page 12-7.
Configuring the POS Ports into a Trunk Group
