Note: When an interface has been disabled by UFD, the show interfaces interface command for
affected interfaces indicates it is error-disabled as follows:
S4148F-Leaf-1#show interfaces te 1/4
TenGigabitEthernet 1/4 is up, line protocol is down(error-disabled[UFD])
-- Output truncated --
6.3.7 show spanning-tree rstp brief
This command validates that Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled on the leaf switches. All interfaces are
forwarding (Sts column shows FWD). One of the leaf switches (S4148F-Leaf1 in this example) is the root
bridge and sever-facing interfaces (Po 1 in this example) are edge ports.
