create stp
Syntax CREate STP=stp-name
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 or default.
Description This command creates a Spanning Tree Protocol entity with a unique name.
The specified STP must not already exist. The name is not case sensitive,
although the case is preserved for display purposes. The STP created is
disabled by default.
For switches without overlapping VLANs, the maximum number of STPs is
dependent on the number of ports on the switch (Table 8-20 on page 8-93)
because each port can belong to a single STP and an STP is only useful when it
contains more than one port. Rapier i series switches include overlapping
VLANs, and a port can belong to more than one STP. The maximum number of
STPs for these switches is 255.
Example To create a new STP named company, use the command:
cre stp=company
