Configuring STP
This chapter describes how to configure the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on port-based VLANs on the
Catalyst 2960 and 2960-S switches. The switch can use either the per-VLAN spanning-tree plus
(PVST+) protocol based on the IEEE 802.1D standard and Cisco proprietary extensions, or the rapid
per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (rapid-PVST+) protocol based on the IEEE 802.1w standard. A switch
stack appears as a single spanning-tree node to the rest of the network, and all stack members use the
same bridge ID. Unless otherwise noted, the term switch refers to a standalone switch and to a switch
stack.

Stacking is supported only on Catalyst 2960-S switches running the LAN base image.
