STP, RSTP, and MSTP configuration procedures

Shutting down STP, RSTP, or MSTP globally
Use this command to shutdown STP, RSTP, or MSTP globally.
To shutdown STP, RSTP, or MSTP globally, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Specifying the bridge priority
In any mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP), use this command to specify the priority of the switch. After you
decide on the root switch, set the appropriate values to designate the switch as the root switch. If a
switch has a bridge priority that is lower than all the other switches, the other switches
automatically select the switch as the root switch.
To specify the bridge priority, perform the following steps from Privileged EXEC mode:
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch>#config t
Enter configuration commands, one
per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Shutdown STP, RSTP, or MSTP globally. STP is not
required in a loop-free topology and is not enabled
by default.
switch(conf-stp)#shutdown
switch(conf-rstp)#shutdown
switch(conf-mstp)#shutdown
3. Display the spanning-tree configuration. switch(config)#do show spanning-tree
Step Task Command
1. Enter global configuration mode. switch>#config t
Enter configuration commands, one
per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)#
2. Enter a mode (STP, RSTP, or MSTP). switch(config)#protocol
spanning-tree stp
switch(conf-stp)#
3. Specify the bridge priority. The range is 0 through
61440 and the priority values can be set only in
increments of 4096. The default priority is 32678.
switch(conf-stp)#bridge-priority

4. Display the spanning-tree configuration. switch(conf-stp)#do show
