disable stp
Syntax DISable STP={stp-name|ALL}
where stp-name is a character string 1 to 15 characters long. Valid characters are
uppercase and lowercase letters, digits, the underscore, and the hyphen. The
stp-name cannot be all.
Description This command disables operation of the Spanning Tree Algorithm for the
specified STP or for the entire switch. User created STPs are disabled by
default. The default STP is disabled on switch start-up. An STP should be
disabled only when its part of the LAN topology is free of loops. When there is
a loop in the topology, the performance of the LAN can be significantly
reduced.
This command overrides the disable stp port and enable stp port commands.
Once an STP has been disabled by this command, no port belonging to that
STP can be enabled or disabled. The STP must be enabled before ports
belonging to the STP are enabled or disabled.
Disabling an STP does not affect the debug status of that STP set by the enable
stp debug command. However, because the STP is disabled, STP debugging
produces no information.
Disabling STP operation on a port may affect the operation of GARP. Each
GARP application has a GIP component whose actions depend on whether the
port is in the STP forwarding state.
Examples To disable the company STP, use the command:
dis stp=company
To disable all STPs on the switch, use the command:
dis stp=all
