Shutting down RSTP

Follow these steps to shut down RSTP either globally or on a specific interface.

1. Enter global configuration mode.
   

   device# configure terminal
   

2. Shut down RSTP.

   • Shut down STP globally and return to privileged EXEC mode.

     

     device(config)# protocol spanning-tree rstp
     device(conf-rstp)# shutdown
     device(conf-rstp)# end
     

   • Shut down RSTP on a specific interface and return to privileged EXEC mode.

     

     device(config)# interface ethernet 0/2
     device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# spanning-tree shutdown
     device(conf-if-eth-0/2)# end
     

   • Shut down RSTP on a specific VLAN and return to privileged EXEC mode.

     

     device(config)# vlan 10
     device(config-vlan-10)# spanning-tree shutdown
     device(config-vlan-10)# end
     

3. Verify the configuration.
   

   device# show spanning-tree 
   device# 
   

4. Save the configuration.
   

   device# copy running-config startup-config
