spanning-tree 0

Assigns a Layer 2 interface to STP instance 0 and configures a port cost or port priority, or enables loop guard, root guard, or the Portfast feature on the interface.

Syntax spanning-tree stp-id {cost cost | {rootguard} | portfast [bpduguard [shutdown-on-violation]| bpdufilter] | priority priority}

To disable Spanning Tree group on an interface, use the no spanning-tree stp-id {cost cost | {rootguard} | portfast [bpduguard [shutdown-on-violation] | bpdufilter] | priority priority} command.

Parameters
stp-id Enter the STP instance ID. The range is 0.
cost cost Enter the keyword cost then a number as the cost. The range is 1 to 65535. The defaults are:
  • 10-Gigabit Ethernet interface = 2.
  • Port Channel interface with 10-Gigabit Ethernet = 1.
rootguard Enter the keyword rootguard to enable STP root guard on a port or port-channel interface.
portfast [bpduguard [shutdown-on-viol ation] | bpdufilter]

Enter the keyword portfast to enable Portfast to move the interface into Forwarding mode immediately after the root fails.

Enter the optional keyword bpduguard to disable the port when it receives a BPDU.

Enter the optional keywords shutdown-on-violation to hardware disable an interface when a BPDU is received and the port is disabled.

Enter the keyword bpdufilter to enable on an interface; it should stop sending and receiving BPDUs on the port fast enabled ports.

priority priority Enter keyword priority then a number as the priority. The range is zero (0) to 15. The default is 8.
Defaults cost = depends on the interface type; priority = 8

Usage Information

If you enable portfast bpduguard on an interface and the interface receives a BPDU, the software disables the interface and sends a message stating that fact. The port is in ERR_DISABLE mode, yet appears in the show interface commands as enabled. If you do not enable shutdown-on-violation, BPDUs still are sent to the RPM CPU.

STP root guard is supported on a port or port-channel enabled in any Spanning Tree mode: Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP), Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP), and Per-VLAN Spanning Tree Plus (PVST+).

Root guard is supported on any STP-enabled port or port-channel except when used as a stacking port. When enabled on a port, root guard applies to all VLANs configured on the port.
