      device(config)# protocol spanning-tree pvst
      device(config-pvst)# shutdown
      device(config-pvst)# end
      
    • Shut down PVST+ or R-PVST+ 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 PVST+ or R-PVST+ 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#

    device# copy running-config startup-config
    

Shut down PVST+ or R-PVST+ configuration example

device# configure terminal
device(config)# vlan 10
device(config-vlan-10)# spanning-tree shutdown
device(config-vlan-10)# end
device# show spanning-tree 
device# copy running-config startup-config
