Link Aggregation (LAG)

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

configure terminal

# Enable Rapid STP (Recommended)
spanning-tree mode rapid-pvst

# OR enable traditional STP
# spanning-tree mode stp

# OR enable MSTP (for multiple VLAN support)
# spanning-tree mode mstp

write memory

spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 500 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 501 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 502 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 503 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 504 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 505 priority 12288
spanning-tree vlan 506 priority 12288

For access ports (connected to endpoints like PCs/servers), use PortFast to speed up link transitions:

interface Ethernet1
  spanning-tree portfast
  no shutdown

This prevents unnecessary STP calculations when connecting non-switch devices.

spanning-tree vlan 1 priority 4096
spanning-tree vlan 10 priority 4096

This forces VLAN 1 and VLAN 10 to select this switch as the root.

interface Ethernet3
  spanning-tree bpdufilter enable
  spanning-tree bpduguard enable
  no shutdown

BPDU Filter: Stops sending/receiving STP packets on that port. BPDU Guard: Disables the port if it receives STP packets (useful on access ports).
