DETAILED STEPS
To return to the default setting, use the no bridge bridge-group max-age command in global
configuration mode.
Disabling the Spanning Tree on an Interface
When a loop-free path exists between any two switched subnetworks, you can prevent BPDUs generated
in one switching subnetwork from impacting devices in the other switching subnetwork and still permit
switching throughout the network as a whole. For example, when switched LAN subnetworks are
separated by a WAN, BPDUs can be prevented from traveling across the WAN link.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to disable spanning tree on an interface.
SUMMARY STEPS
1. configure terminal
2. interface type 0/slot/port
3. bridge-group bridge-group spanning-disabled
4. end
Command Purpose
Step 1
configure terminal
Example:
Router#configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
bridge bridge-group max-age seconds
Example:
Router(config)#bridge 1 max-age 50
Specifies the interval the switch waits to hear BPDUs from the root
switch.
• For bridge-group, specify the bridge group number. The range is 1
to 255.
• For seconds, enter a number from 10 to 200. The default is 30.
Step 3
end
Example:
Router(config)#end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
