Configuring Spanning-Tree Protocol
The Cisco ME 1200 Series Carrier Ethernet Access Device supports Spanning-Tree Protocol (STP), and this
chapter describes how to configure the STP on port-based VLANs. On the Cisco ME 1200 NID, the STP is
enabled by default on physical interfaces.

Information About Spanning-Tree Protocol
STP is a Layer 2 link management protocol that provides path redundancy while preventing loops in the
network.
For a Layer 2 Ethernet network to function properly, only one active path can exist between any two stations.
Multiple active paths among end stations cause loops in the network. If a loop exists in the network, end
stations might receive duplicate messages. Devices might also learn end-station MAC addresses on multiple
Layer 2 interfaces. These conditions result in an unstable network. Spanning-tree operation is transparent to
end stations, which cannot detect whether they are connected to a single LAN segment or a switched LAN
of multiple segments.

Configuring Spanning-Tree Protocol
Information About Spanning-Tree Protocol
The STP uses a spanning-tree algorithm to select one switch of a redundantly connected network as the root
of the spanning tree. The algorithm calculates the best loop-free path through a switched Layer 2 network by
assigning a role to each port based on the role of the port in the active topology:
• Root—A forwarding port elected for the spanning-tree topology
• Designated—A forwarding port elected for every switched LAN segment
• Alternate—A blocked port providing an alternate path to the root bridge in the spanning tree
• Backup—A blocked port in a loopback configuration
The switch that has all of its ports as the designated role or the backup role is the root switch. The switch that
has at least one of its ports in the designated role is called the designated switch.
Spanning tree forces redundant data paths into a standby (blocked) state. If a network segment in the spanning
tree fails and a redundant path exists, the spanning-tree algorithm recalculates the spanning-tree topology and
activates the standby path. Switches send and receive spanning-tree frames, called bridge protocol data units
(BPDUs), at regular intervals. The switches do not forward these frames but use them to construct a loop-free
path. BPDUs contain information about the sending switch and its ports, including switch and MAC addresses,
switch priority, port priority, and path cost. Spanning tree uses this information to elect the root switch and
root port for the switched network and the root port and designated port for each switched segment.
When two ports on a switch are part of a loop, the spanning-tree port priority and path cost settings control
which port is put in the forwarding state and which is put in the blocking state. The spanning-tree port priority
value represents the location of a port in the network topology and how well it is located to pass traffic. The
path cost value represents the media speed.
Note
The switch sends keepalive messages (to ensure the connection is up) only on interfaces that do not have
small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules.
Spanning-Tree Topology and BPDUs
The stable, active spanning-tree topology of a switched network is controlled by these elements:
• The unique bridge ID (switch priority and MAC address) associated with each VLAN on each switch.
• The spanning-tree path cost to the root switch.
• The port identifier (port priority and MAC address) associated with each Layer 2 STP-enabled interface.
When the switches in a network are powered up, each functions as the root switch. Each switch sends a
configuration BPDU through all of its ports, or on the Cisco ME device, only through the STP-enabled ports.
The BPDUs communicate and compute the spanning-tree topology. Each configuration BPDU contains this
information:
• The unique bridge ID of the switch that the sending switch identifies as the root switch
• The spanning-tree path cost to the root
• The bridge ID of the sending switch
• Message age
• The identifier of the sending interface
• Values for the hello, forward delay, and max-age protocol timers

Configuring Spanning-Tree Protocol
Information About Spanning-Tree Protocol
When a switch receives a configuration BPDU that contains superior information (lower bridge ID, lower
path cost, and so forth), it stores the information for that port. If this BPDU is received on the root port of the
switch, the switch also forwards it with an updated message to all attached LANs for which it is the designated
switch.
If a switch receives a configuration BPDU that contains inferior information to that currently stored for that
port, it discards the BPDU. If the switch is a designated switch for the LAN from which the inferior BPDU
was received, it sends that LAN a BPDU containing the up-to-date information stored for that port. In this
way, inferior information is discarded, and superior information is propagated on the network
For more information on BPDUs, see Configuring Optional Spanning-Tree features.
Spanning-Tree Interface States
Propagation delays can occur when protocol information passes through a switched LAN. As a result, topology
changes can take place at different times and at different places in a switched network. When an STP port
transitions directly from nonparticipation in the spanning-tree topology to the forwarding state, it can create
temporary data loops. Interfaces must wait for new topology information to propagate through the switched
LAN before starting to forward frames. They must allow the frame lifetime to expire for forwarded frames
that have used the old topology.
Each Layer 2 interface on a switch using spanning tree exists in one of these states:
• Blocking—The interface does not participate in frame forwarding.
• Listening—The first transitional state after the blocking state when the spanning tree determines that
the interface should participate in frame forwarding.
• Learning—The interface prepares to participate in frame forwarding.
• Forwarding—The interface forwards frames.
• Disabled—The interface is not participating in spanning tree because of a shutdown port, no link on the
port, or no spanning-tree instance running on the port.
Configuring Port Priority
If a loop occurs, spanning tree uses the port priority when selecting a spanning-tree port to put into the
forwarding state. You can assign higher priority values (lower numerical values) to ports that you want selected
first and lower priority values (higher numerical values) to ones that you want selected last. If all spanning-tree
ports have the same priority value, spanning tree puts the port with the lowest interface number in the forwarding
state and blocks the other interfaces.
Configuring Path Cost
The spanning-tree path cost default value is derived from the media speed of an interface (port running spanning
tree or port channel of multiple ports running spanning tree). If a loop occurs, spanning tree uses cost when
selecting an interface to put in the forwarding state. You can assign lower cost values to interfaces that you
want selected first and higher cost values that you want selected last. If all NNIs (or port channels) have the
same cost value, spanning tree puts the interface with the lowest interface number in the forwarding state and
blocks the other interfaces.
Configuring the Switch Priority of a VLAN
You can configure the switch priority and make it more likely that the switch is chosen as the root switch.
Admin Edge and Auto Edge

3
Configuring Spanning-Tree Protocol
Understanding Spanning-Tree Modes and Protocols
These two values control how a port is declared to be an edge port or not. An edge port, is a port which is not
connected to a bridge. If auto edge is enabled, then the port determine whether a port is an edge port by
registering for BPDUs, and if BPDUs are received on that port.
The admin edge determines what the port should start as being – edge or not.
Restricted Role and Restricted TCN
If restricted role is enabled, it causes the port not to be selected as Root Port for the Common and Internal
Spanning Tree (CIST) or any Multiple Spanning Tree Instance (MSTI), even if it has the best spanning tree
priority vector. Such a port is selected as an Alternate Port after the Root Port has been selected. If set, it can
cause lack of spanning tree connectivity. It can be set by a network administrator to prevent bridges external
to a core region of the network influence the spanning tree active topology, possibly because those bridges
are not under the full control of the administrator. This feature is also known as Root Guard.
If restricted TCN is enabled, it causes the port not to propagate received topology change notifications and
topology changes to other ports. If set it can cause temporary loss of connectivity after changes in a spanning
tree's active topology as a result of persistently incorrect learned station location information. It is set by a
network administrator to prevent bridges external to a core region of the network, causing address flushing
in that region, possibly because those bridges are not under the full control of the administrator or the physical
link state of the attached LANs transits frequently.
Understanding Spanning-Tree Modes and Protocols
The switch ports support the following spanning-tree modes and protocols:
• MSTP—This spanning-tree mode is based on the IEEE 802.1s standard. You can map multiple VLANs
to the same spanning-tree instance, which reduces the number of spanning-tree instances required to
support a large number of VLANs. The MSTP runs on top of the RSTP (based on IEEE802.1w), which
provides for rapid convergence of the spanning tree by eliminating the forward delay and by quickly
transitioning root ports and designated ports to the forwarding state. You cannot run MSTP without
RSTP.
The most common initial deployment of MSTP is in the backbone and distribution layers of a Layer 2
switched network. For more information, see Configuring MSTP.
Understanding MSTP Configuration
This section describes how to configure the Cisco implementation of the IEEE 802.1s Multiple STP (MSTP)
on the Cisco ME 1200 NID. STP is enabled by default on switch ports.
Note
The multiple spanning-tree (MST) implementation is a pre-standard implementation. It is based on the
draft version of the IEEE standard.
The MSTP enables multiple VLANs to be mapped to the same spanning-tree instance, thereby reducing the
number of spanning-tree instances needed to support a large number of VLANs. The MSTP provides for
multiple forwarding paths for data traffic and enables load balancing. It improves the fault tolerance of the
network because a failure in one instance (forwarding path) does not affect other instances (forwarding paths).
The most common initial deployment of MSTP is in the backbone and distribution layers of a Layer 2 switched
network. This deployment provides the highly available network required in a service-provider environment.

Configuring Spanning-Tree Protocol
Understanding MSTP Configuration
Both MSTP and RSTP improve the spanning-tree operation and maintain backward compatibility with
equipment that is based on the (original) 802.1D spanning tree, with existing Cisco-proprietary Multiple
Instance STP (MISTP).
Understanding MSTP
MSTP, which uses RSTP for rapid convergence, enables VLANs to be grouped into a spanning-tree instance,
with each instance having a spanning-tree topology independent of other spanning-tree instances. This
architecture provides multiple forwarding paths for data traffic, enables load balancing, and reduces the number
of spanning-tree instances required to support a large number of VLANs.
Multiple Spanning-Tree Regions
For the NID to participate in multiple spanning-tree (MST) instances, you must consistently configure the
switches with the same MST configuration information. A collection of interconnected NIDs that have the
same MST configuration comprises an MST region. The MST configuration controls to which MST region
each switch belongs. The configuration includes the name of the region, the revision number, and the MST
VLAN-to-instance assignment map. You configure the NID for a region by using the global configuration
command, after which the NID enters the MST configuration mode. From this mode, you can map VLANs
to an MST instance by using the instance MST configuration command, specify the region name by using the
name MST configuration command, and set the revision number by using the revision MST configuration
command. A region can have one member or multiple members with the same MST configuration; each
member must be capable of processing RSTP bridge protocol data units (BPDUs). There is no limit to the
number of MST regions in a network, but each region can support up to 65 spanning-tree instances. You can
assign a VLAN to only one spanning-tree instance at a time.
IST, CIST, and CST
The MSTP establishes and maintains two types of spanning trees, IST and CIST:
• An internal spanning tree (IST), which is the spanning tree that runs in an MST region. Within each
MST region, the MSTP maintains multiple spanning-tree instances. Instance 0 is a special instance for
a region, known as the internal spanning tree (IST). All other MST instances are numbered from 1 to
4094.The IST is the only spanning-tree instance that sends and receives BPDUs; all of the other
spanning-tree instance information is contained in M-records, which are encapsulated within MSTP
BPDUs. Because the MSTP BPDU carries information for all instances, the number of BPDUs that need
to be processed by a switch to support multiple spanning-tree instances is significantly reduced.
All MST instances within the same region share the same protocol timers, but each MST instance has
its own topology parameters, such as root switch ID, root path cost, and so forth. By default, all VLANs
are assigned to the IST. An MST instance is local to the region; for example, MST instance 1 in region
A is independent of MST instance 1 in region B, even if regions A and B are interconnected.
• A common and internal spanning tree (CIST), which is a collection of the ISTs in each MST region,
and the common spanning tree (CST) that interconnects the MST regions and single spanning trees. The
spanning tree computed in a region appears as a subtree in the CST that encompasses the entire switched
domain. The CIST is formed as a result of the spanning-tree algorithm running between switches that
support the IEEE 802.1w, IEEE 802.1s, and IEEE 802.1D protocols. The CIST inside an MST region
is the same as the CST outside a region.
For information regarding Operations Within an MST Region, Operations Between MST Regions, IEEE 802.1s
Terminology, see Configuring MSTP.
Hop Count
The IST and MST instances do not use the message-age and maximum-age information in the configuration
BPDU to compute the spanning-tree topology. Instead, they use the path cost to the root and a hop-count
mechanism similar to the IP time-to-live (TTL) mechanism.

Later Releases
5
Configuring Spanning-Tree Protocol
Understanding RSTP
By using the global configuration command, you can configure the maximum hops inside the region and
apply it to the IST and all MST instances in that region. The hopcount achieves the same result as the
message-age information (trigger a reconfiguration). The root switch of the instance always sends a BPDU
(or M-record) with a cost of 0 and the hop count set to the maximum value. When a switch receives this
BPDU, it decrements the received remaining hop count by one and propagates this value as the remaining
hop count in the BPDUs it generates. When the count reaches zero, the switch discards the BPDU and ages
the information held for the port. The message-age and maximum-age information in the RSTP portion of
the BPDU remain the same throughout the region, and the same values are propagated by the region’s designated
ports at the boundary.
Understanding RSTP
The RSTP takes advantage of point-to-point wiring and provides rapid convergence of the spanning tree.
Reconfiguration of the spanning tree can occur in less than 1 second (in contrast to 50 seconds with the default
settings in the IEEE 802.1D spanning tree), which is critical for networks carrying delay-sensitive traffic such
as voice and video.
Understanding BPDU Guard and BPDU Filtering
BPDU Guard
The BPDU guard feature can be globally enabled on the switch or can be enabled per interface, but the feature
operates with some differences.
At the global level, you enable BPDU guard on Port Fast-enabled STP ports by using the default global
configuration command. Spanning tree shuts down STP ports that are in a Port Fast-operational state if any
BPDU is received on those ports. In a valid configuration, Port Fast-enabled STP ports do not receive BPDUs.
Receiving a BPDU on a Port Fast-enabled port signals an invalid configuration, such as the connection of an
unauthorized device, and the BPDU guard feature puts the interface in the error-disabled state.
At the interface level, you enable BPDU guard on any STP port by using the interface configuration command
without also enabling the Port Fast feature. When the STP port receives a BPDU, it is put in the error-disabled
state. The BPDU guard feature provides a secure response to invalid configurations because you must manually
put the interface back in service. Use the BPDU guard feature in a service-provider network to prevent an
access port from participating in the spanning tree. You can enable the BPDU guard feature for the entire
switch or for an interface.
BPDU Filtering
The BPDU filtering feature can be globally enabled on the switch or can be enabled per interface, but the
feature operates with some differences.
At the global level, you can enable BPDU filtering on Port Fast-enabled STP ports by using the default global
configuration command. This command prevents interfaces that are in a Port Fast-operational state from
sending or receiving BPDUs. The interfaces still send a few BPDUs at link-up before the switch begins to
filter outbound BPDUs. You should globally enable BPDU filtering on a switch so that hosts connected to
these ports do not receive BPDUs. If a BPDU is received on a Port Fast-enabled STP port, the interface loses
its Port Fast-operational status, and BPDU filtering is disabled.
At the interface level, you can enable BPDU filtering on any STP port by using the interface configuration
command without also enabling the Port Fast feature. This command prevents the interface from sending or
receiving BPDUs.
