Command History
Usage Guidelines Use this command to automatically configure all interfaces that are connected to switches as spanning
tree network ports by default. You can then use the spanning-tree port type edge command to configure
specified ports that are connected to hosts as spanning-tree edge ports.
Note If you mistakenly configure ports connected to hosts as Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) network ports and
Bridge Assurance is enabled, those ports will automatically move into the blocking state.
Configure only the ports that connect to other switches as network ports because the Bridge Assurance
feature causes network ports that are connected to hosts to move into the spanning tree blocking state.
You can identify individual interfaces as network ports by using the spanning-tree port type network
command.
The default spanning tree port type is normal.
Examples This example shows how to globally configure all ports connected to switches as spanning tree network
ports:
switch(config)# spanning-tree port type network default
