Enables the STP protocol on one or more ports.
| stpd_name | Specifies an STPD on the switch. |
| all | Specifies all ports for a given STPD. |
| port_list | Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports. |
Enabled.
If you create an STPD with a unique name, the keyword stpd is optional.
If STP is enabled for a port, BPDUs are generated and processed on that port if STP is enabled for the associated STPD.
You must configure one or more STPDs before you can use the enable stpd ports command. To create an STPD, use the create stpd stpd_name {descriptionstpd-description} command. If you have considerable knowledge and experience with STP, you can configure the STPD using the configure stpd commands. However, the default STP parameters are adequate for most networks.
The following command enables slot 2, port 4 on an STPD named Backbone_st:
enable stpd backbone_st ports 2:4
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 10.1.
This command is available on all Universal switches supported in this document.
