Configuring Spanning Trees as Hitless

You can configure STP, RSTP, MSTP, and PVST+ to be hitless (configure all or none as hitless). When configured as hitless, critical protocol state information is synchronized between the RPMs so that RPM failover is seamless and no topology change is triggered.

To be hitless per spanning tree type or for all spanning tree types, use the following commands.

  • Configure LACP to be hitless.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    redundancy protocol lacp
  • Configure all spanning tree types to be hitless.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    redundancy protocol xstp
