Configuring STP and IEEE 802.1s MST
Enabling STP
Note
STP is enabled by default on VLAN 1 and on all newly created VLANs.
You can enable STP on a per-VLAN basis. The Cisco 7600 series router maintains a separate instance
of STP for each VLAN (except on VLANs on which you disable STP).
To enable STP on a per-VLAN basis, perform this task:
Command
Step 1
Router(config)# spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID
Router(config)# default spanning-tree vlan
vlan_ID
Router(config)# no spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID
Step 2
Router(config)# end
Step 3
Router# show spanning-tree vlan vlan_ID
Do not disable spanning tree on a VLAN unless all switches and bridges in the VLAN have spanning
Caution
tree disabled. You cannot disable spanning tree on some switches and bridges in a VLAN and leave it
enabled on other switches and bridges in the VLAN. This action can have unexpected results because
switches and bridges with spanning tree enabled will have incomplete information regarding the physical
topology of the network.
We do not recommend disabling spanning tree, even in a topology that is free of physical loops. Spanning
Caution
tree serves as a safeguard against misconfigurations and cabling errors. Do not disable spanning tree in
a VLAN without ensuring that there are no physical loops present in the VLAN.
This example shows how to enable STP on VLAN 200:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# spanning-tree vlan 200
Router(config)# end
Router#
Note
Because STP is enabled by default, entering a show running command to view the resulting
configuration does not display the command you entered to enable STP.
