Usage Guidelines

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is not supported on user network interfaces (UNIs). This command affects

only network node interfaces (NNIs) or enhanced network interfaces (ENIs) on which STP has been

enabled. To set a port as an NNI or ENI, enter the port-type {nni | eni} interface configuration

command. To enable STP on an ENI, enter the spanning-tree interface configuration command.

The switch supports the IEEE 802.1t spanning-tree extensions. Some of the bits previously used for the

switch priority are now used for the extended system ID (VLAN identifier for the per-VLAN

spanning-tree plus [PVST+] and rapid PVST+ or as an instance identifier for the multiple spanning tree

The spanning tree uses the extended system ID, the switch priority, and the allocated spanning-tree MAC

address to make the bridge ID unique for each VLAN or multiple spanning-tree instance.

Support for the extended system ID affects how you manually configure the root switch, the secondary

root switch, and the switch priority of a VLAN. For more information, see the

If your network consists of switches that do not support the extended system ID and switches that do

support it, it is unlikely that the switch with the extended system ID support will become the root switch.

The extended system ID increases the switch priority value every time the VLAN number is greater than

the priority of the connected switches.
