Disabling STP
STP is enabled by default on VLAN 1 and on all newly created VLANs up to the spanning-tree limit
specified in
Caution
When STP is disabled and loops are present in the topology, excessive traffic and indefinite packet
duplication can drastically reduce network performance.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable STP on a per-VLAN basis:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
no spanning-tree vlan vlan-id
Step 3
end
Step 4
show spanning-tree vlan vlan-id
Step 5
copy running-config startup-config
To re-enable STP, use the spanning-tree vlan vlan-id global configuration command.
Configuring the Root Switch
The switch maintains a separate spanning-tree instance for each active VLAN configured on it. A bridge
ID, consisting of the switch priority and the switch MAC address, is associated with each instance. For
each VLAN, the switch with the lowest bridge ID becomes the root switch for that VLAN.
