STP Commands
enable stpd ports
enable stpd <stpd_name> ports [all | <port_list>]
Description
Enables the STP protocol on one or more ports.
Syntax Description
Default
Enabled.
Usage Guidelines
After you have created the STPD with a unique name, the keyword stpd is optional.
If STPD is enabled for a port, Bridge Protocol Data Units (BPDUs) will be generated and processed on
that port if STP is enabled for the associated STPD.
You must configure one or more STP domains before you can use the enable stpd ports command.
Use the
create stpd command to create an STP domain. If you have considerable knowledge and
experience with STP, you can configure the STPD using the
configure stpd commands. However, the
default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
On a modular switch, <port_list> can be a list of slots and ports. For a detailed explanation of port
specification, see “Modular Switch Numerical Ranges” in Chapter 1.
Example
The following command enables slot 2, port 4 on an STPD named Backbone_st:
enable stpd backbone_st ports 2:4
stpd_name Specifies an STPD on the switch.
all Specifies all ports for a given STPD.
port_list Specifies one or more slots and ports. May be in the form 2:*, 2:5, 2:6-2:8.
