Restarting the Protocol
A bridge running Rapid PVST+ can send 802.1D BPDUs on one of its ports when it is connected to a
legacy bridge. However, the STP protocol migration cannot determine whether the legacy switch has
been removed from the link unless the legacy switch is the designated switch. You can restart the
protocol negotiation (force the renegotiation with neighboring switches) on the entire switch or on
specified interfaces.
To restart the protocol negotiation, perform this task:
Command
switch# clear spanning-tree
detected-protocol [interface interface
[interface-num | port-channel]]
This example shows how to restart Rapid PVST+ on the Ethernet interface on slot 2, port 8:
switch# clear spanning-tree detected-protocol interface ethernet 2/8
Verifying Rapid PVST+ Configurations
To display Rapid PVST+ configuration information, perform one of these tasks:
Command
switch# show running-config
spanning-tree [all]
switch# show spanning-tree [options]
This example shows how to display spanning tree status:
switch# show spanning-tree brief
VLAN0001
