Shutting down RSTP

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

Procedure

  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
