Operands

mstp

Defaults

By default, STP is not enabled. STP is not required in a loop-free topology.

Command

Modes

Global configuration mode

Description

Use this command to create a context for the protocol specified. Use the no protocol spanning-tree 
command to delete the context and all the configurations defined within the context or protocol for 
the interface.

Usage

Guidelines

Consider enabling STP to detect or avoid loops. You must turn off one form of STP before turning on 
another form. 

Packet drops or packet flooding may occur if you do not enable xSTP on all devices connected on 
both sides of parallel links. 

Examples

To enable the Spanning Tree Protocol:

switch(config)#protocol spanning-tree stp
