SPBV Spanning Tree Configuration

Spanning Tree must be configured for SPBV to be operational. Configure Spanning Tree as documented in the S-, K-, and 7100 Series Configuration Guide. There are two important considerations when configuring Spanning Tree for SPBV:

• Spanning Tree version
• MST configuration name

Spanning Tree version defaults to MSPT. SPBV requires Spanning Tree version SPT. Use the set spantree version command in any configuration mode to set the Spanning Tree version to SPT. The following example sets the Spanning Tree version to SPT:

System(rw)->set spantree version spt
System(rw)->

The Spanning Tree MST configuration name must be the same for all devices in the SPBV region. The MST configuration name is set using the set spantree mstcfgid command in any configuration mode. The following example sets the MST configuration name to spbv1 for this device:

System(rw)->set spantree mstcfgid cfgname spbv1
System(rw)->
