Spanning Tree

Some sample commands

-> show spantree ports active
Vlan Port Oper Status Path Cost Role Loop Guard Note
-----+------+------------+---------+-------+-----------+---------
1 1/1 BLK 4 ALT DIS
1 1/2 FORW 4 ROOT DIS
1 1/3 FORW 4 DESG DIS
1 1/48 FORW 19 DESG DIS
-> show spantree 1
Spanning Tree Parameters for Vlan 1
Spanning Tree Status : ON,
Protocol : IEEE Rapid STP,
mode : 1X1 (1 STP per Vlan),
Priority : 32768 (0x8000),
Bridge ID : 8000-00:e0:b1:81:fe:b6,
Designated Root : 0010-00:e0:b1:aa:fe:d8,
Cost to Root Bridge : 4,
Root Port : Slot 1 Interface 2,
Next Best Root Cost : 4,
Next Best Root Port : Slot 1 Interface 1,
TxHoldCount : 3,
Topology Changes : 7,
Topology age : 00:05:13,
Current Parameters (seconds)
Max Age = 20,
Forward Delay = 15,
Hello Time = 2
Parameters system uses when attempting to become root
System Max Age = 20,
System Forward Delay = 15,
System Hello Time = 2
-> bridge 1 protocol rstp
-> bridge 1 priority 16

(Yes.. sometime it’s bridge, sometime its spantree and debug commands are “stp”… Nothing coherent !)

Root Guard

Root guard on port 8/1 vlan 100

bridge 1x1 100 8/1 restricted-role enable

Link Aggregation

Creating a LAG does not create a logical interface (like on Cisco/Juniper/HP), the first physical interface of the LAG become the “Primary Port”, if 1/1 and 1/2 are on the same lag, even if you unplug 1/1, you could see it as root port on STP because 1/2 is still part of the LAG and is up (and is the primary port)
