Software Release 2.7.3
C613-03098-00 REV A
enable stp
Syntax ENAble 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 enables operation of the Spanning Tree Algorithm for the specified stp or
for the entire switch. If the Spanning Tree Algorithm is to be run on a VLAN,
the VLAN must be added to an STP that is enabled. User created STPs are
disabled by default. The default STP is disabled on switch start-up.
This command is required before the disable stp port and enable stp port
commands can be used. Once an STP has been enabled by this command it is
then possible to enable or disable any port belonging to that STP.
Enabling STP operation on a port may affect the operation of GARP. Each
GARP application has a GIP component whose actions depend upon whether
the port is in the STP forwarding state.
Examples To enable the company STP, use the command:
enable stp=company
To enable all STPs, use the following command:
enable stp=all
