Configuring Spanning-Tree Features
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure the port priority of an NNI. This
procedure is optional.
Note The show spanning-tree interface interface-id privileged EXEC command displays information only
if the port is in a link-up operative state. Otherwise, you can use the show running-config interface
privileged EXEC command to confirm the configuration.
To return to the default spanning-tree setting, use the no spanning-tree [vlan vlan-id] port-priority
interface configuration command. For information on how to configure load sharing on trunk ports by
using spanning-tree port priorities, see the “Configuring Trunk Ports for Load Sharing” section on
page 11-19.
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2
interface interface-id Specify an interface to configure, and enter interface
configuration mode.
Valid interfaces include physical NNIs and port-channel
logical interfaces (port-channel port-channel-number)
that contain only NNIs. If a physical interface is not an
NNI, enter the port-type nni interface configuration
command to make it an NNI before configuring spanning
tree.
Step 3
spanning-tree port-priority priority Configure the port priority for an NNI.
For priority, the range is 0 to 240, in increments of 16; the
default is 128. Valid values are 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96,
112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, and 240. All other
values are rejected. The lower the number, the higher the
priority.
Step 4
spanning-tree vlan vlan-id port-priority priority Configure the port priority for a VLAN.
• For vlan-id, you can specify a single VLAN identified
by VLAN ID number, a range of VLANs separated by
a hyphen, or a series of VLANs separated by a comma.
The range is 1 to 4094.
• For priority, the range is 0 to 240, in increments of 16;
the default is 128. Valid values are 0, 16, 32, 48, 64, 80,
96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, and 240.
All other values are rejected. The lower the number,
the higher the priority.
Step 5
end Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 6
show spanning-tree interface interface-id
or
show spanning-tree vlan vlan-id
Verify your entries.
Step 7
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
