Configuring STP
The show spanning-tree interface interface-id privileged EXEC command displays information only
Note
for ports that are in a link-up operative state. Otherwise, you can use the show running-config privileged
EXEC command to confirm the configuration.
To return to the default setting, use the no spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] cost interface configuration
command. For information on how to configure load sharing on trunk ports by using spanning-tree path
costs, see the
Configuring the Switch Priority of a VLAN
You can configure the switch priority and make it more likely that a standalone switch or a switch in the
stack will be chosen as the root switch.
Exercise care when using this command. For most situations, we recommend that you use the
Note
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root primary and the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id root secondary global
configuration commands to modify the switch priority.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the switch priority of a VLAN. This
procedure is optional.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure the switch priority of a VLAN.
•
For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified by
VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by a
hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma. The
range is 1 to 4094.
For priority, the range is 0 to 61440 in increments of
•
4096; the default is 32768. The lower the number, the
more likely the switch will be chosen as the root switch.
Valid priority values are 4096, 8192, 12288, 16384,
20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056,
49152, 53248, 57344, and 61440. All other values are
rejected.
