set spantree version {mstp | rstp | stpcompatible}
Syntax Description
Command Defaults
None.
Command Type
Switch command.
Command Mode

Example
This example shows how to change the Spanning Tree version from the default of MSTP to STP:
6.2.1.5
clear spantree version
Use this command to reset the version of the Spanning Tree protocol to the default mode of MSTP.
clear spantree version
Syntax Description
None.
NOTE: In most networks, Spanning Tree version should not be changed from its
default setting of mstp (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol) mode. MSTP mode is fully
compatible and interoperable with legacy STP 802.1D and Rapid Spanning Tree
(RSTP) bridges. 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.
