Command History
Version Description
9.9(0.0) Introduced on the FN IOM.
8.3.16.1 Introduced on the MXL 10/40GbE Switch IO Module.
Usage Information Enable spanning tree group 0 prior to using this command.
The following describes the show spanning-tree 0 command shown in the example.
Field Description
“Bridge Identier...” Lists the bridge priority and the MAC address for this STP bridge.
“Congured hello...” Displays the settings for hello time, max age, and forward delay.
“We are...” States whether this bridge is the root bridge for the STG.
“Current root...” Lists the bridge priority and MAC address for the root bridge.
“Topology ag...” States whether the topology ag and the detected ag were set.
“Number of...” Displays the number of topology changes, the time of the last topology change, and on
what interface the topology change occurred.
“Timers” Lists the values for the following bridge timers: hold time, topology change, hello time,
max age, and forward delay.
“Times” List the number of seconds since the last:
• hello time
• topology change
• notication
• aging
“Port 1...” Displays the Interface type slot/port information and the status of the interface (Disabled
or Enabled).
“Port path...” Displays the path cost, priority, and identier for the interface.
“Designated root...” Displays the priority and MAC address of the root bridge of the STG that the interface
belongs.
“Designated port...” Displays the designated port ID.
