Setup Guide

◦ Disable the shutdown-on-violation command on the interface (using the no spanning-tree stp-id portfast
[bpduguard | [shutdown-on-violation]] command).
◦ Disable spanning tree on the interface (using the no spanning-tree command in INTERFACE mode).
◦ Disabling global spanning tree (using the no spanning-tree command in CONFIGURATION mode).
Example of Enabling an EdgePort on an Interface
To verify that EdgePort is enabled, use the show config command from INTERFACE mode.
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)#spanning-tree mstp edge-port
DellEMC(conf-if-te-1/1/1/1)#show config

Flush MAC Addresses after a Topology Change
Dell EMC Networking OS has an optimized MAC address ush mechanism for RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ that ushes addresses only when
necessary, which allows for faster convergence during topology changes.
However, you may activate the ushing mechanism dened by 802.1Q-2003 using the tc-flush-standard command, which ushes
MAC addresses after every topology change notication.
To view the enable status of this feature, use the show running-config spanning-tree mstp command from EXEC Privilege
mode.
MSTP Sample Congurations
The running-congurations support the topology shown in the following illustration.
The congurations are from Dell EMC Networking OS systems.
