Figure 48-2.  Spanning Tree Enabled Globally
View the Spanning Tree configuration and the interfaces that are participating in STP using the show 
spanning-tree 0
 command from EXEC privilege mode. If a physical interface is part of a port channel, only 
the port channel is listed in the command output.
