Configuring Device Information 303The following is an example of the CLI commands:Configuring the Spanning Tree ProtocolSpanning Tree Protocol (STP) provides tree topography for any arrangement of bridges. STP alsoprovides one path between end stations on a network, eliminating loops.Loops occur when alternate paths exist between hosts. Loops in an extended network can cause bridgesto forward traffic indefinitely, resulting in increased traffic and reducing network efficiency.The devices support the following Spanning Tree protocols:• Classic STP — Provides a single path between end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops. For moreinformation on configuring Classic STP, see "Defining STP Global Settings" on page 304.• Rapid STP — Detects and uses of network topologies that provide faster spanning tree convergence,without creating forwarding loops. For more information on configuring Rapid STP, see "ConfiguringRapid Spanning Tree" on page 314.To open the Spanning Tree pages, click Switch→ Spanning Tree in the tree view.console(config)# interface ethernet g1console(config-if)# garp timer leave 900console(config-if)# endconsole# show gvrp configuration ethernet g1GVRP Feature is currently Disabled on the device.Maximum VLANs: 223Port(s) GVRP- Registration Dynamic VLAN Timers (milliseconds)Status Creation Join Leave Leave All---------------- -------- ------------ ------------ ------- ------g1 Disabled Normal Enabled 200 900 10000console#
