Remove no spanning-tree

[Jason Caron]

I need to allow spanning tree on VLAN 906. How can I remove that VLAN from config below?

Thanks.

spanning-tree mode pvst

spanning-tree extend system-id

no spanning-tree vlan 150,221,401-412,414-453,501-512,514-553,601-612,614-648

no spanning-tree vlan 650-653,701-712,714-753,801-812,814-853,901-912,914-953

I have tried that and when I go look at my config it does not change.

Have you tried redoing the line, but instead of 901-912, do 901-905, 907-912?

HTH,

Yes I have tried that without any success. Could this result from the number of VLANs I have on the switch? Can only so many vlan have spanning tree enabled?

Hello Jason,

your understanding is correct low end switches can have more vlans defined then number of STP instances

It is likely the commands you see have been automatically inserted by the switch.

if you are not already doing it I suggest to manually configure the list of permitted vlans on all trunk ports including uplinks.

this can free some STP instance

Hope to help

Sadly this Switch is the Core Switch in a hotel with a 1000 rooms. Each VLAN refers to specific room in the hotel. Is there anyway to get STP to run on every VLAN?

Hello Jason,

depending on the platform an IOS upgrade can help.

It can provide an higher number of concurrent STP instances

Also an IOS image capable of MST can overcome this limitation (MST can associate multiple Vlans to a single STP instance).

what model and IOS image is involved ?

Hope to help

No answer yet?

Simple:

E.g. you have something like "no spanning-tree vlan 19" and some more settings like like "spanning-tree vlan 19-20,601-605 priority 28672" the solution to remove the "no [...]" entry is

1. spanning-tree vlan 19

=> this removes the "no [...]" setting

Because you already had the vlan 19 in the [priority setting, nothing else needs to be done here.

If you had as another example no vlan 19 included in the priority setting, simply add

2. spanning-tree vlan 19 priority 28672

Hope that helps.
