Debugging and Verifying MSTP Congurations
To debut and verify MSTP conguration, use the following commands.
• Display BPDUs.
EXEC Privilege mode
debug spanning-tree mstp bpdu
• Display MSTP-triggered topology change messages.
debug spanning-tree mstp events
Examples of Viewing MSTP Congurations
To ensure all the necessary parameters match (region name, region version, and VLAN to instance mapping), examine your individual
routers.
To show various portions of the MSTP conguration, use the show spanning-tree mst commands.
To view the overall MSTP conguration on the router, use the show running-configuration spanning-tree mstp in EXEC
Privilege mode.
To monitor and verify that the MSTP conguration is connected and communicating as desired, use the debug spanning-tree mstp
bpdu
command.
Key items to look for in the debug report include:
• MSTP ags indicate communication received from the same region.
– As shown in the following, the MSTP routers are located in the same region.
