    show spanning-tree
    To display information about the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), use the show spanning-tree command.

    show spanning-tree [blockedports | inconsistentports | pathcost method]

    Syntax Description

    blockedports (Optional) Displays the alternate ports blocked by STP.


    inconsistentports (Optional) Displays the ports that are in an inconsistent STP
    state.
    pathcost method (Optional) Displays whether short or long path cost method is
    used. The method differs for Rapid Per VLAN Spanning Tree
    Plus (Rapid PVST+) (configurable, default is short) and Multiple
    Spanning Tree (MST) (nonconfigurable, operational value is
    always long).

    Command Default

    None

    Command Modes
    EXEC mode

    Command History

    Release Modification
    4.0(0)N1(1a) This command was introduced.

    Usage Guidelines

    The STP port type displays only when you have configured the port as either an STP edge port or an STP
    network port. If you have not configured the STP port type, no port type displays.

    Table 3-3 describes the fields that are displayed in the output of show spanning-tree commands.

    Table 3-3 show spanning-tree Command Output Fields 


    Fiel
    d Definition
    Role Current port STP role. Valid values are as follows:

    • Desg (designated)

    • Root

    • Altn (alternate)

    • Back (backup)


    Sts Current port STP state. Valid values are as follows:

    • BLK (blocking)

    • DIS (disabled)

    • LRN (learning)

    • FWD (forwarding)


    Type Status information. Valid values are as follows:

    • P2p/Shr—The interface is considered as a point-to-point (shared)


    interface by the spanning tree.

    • Edge—The port is configured as an STP edge port (either globally


    using the default command or directly on the interface) and no BPDU has
    been received.

    • Network—The port is configured as an STP network port (either


    globally using the default command or directly on the interface).

    • *ROOT_Inc, *LOOP_Inc, *PVID_Inc, *BA_Inc, and *TYPE_Inc—The


    port is in a broken state (BKN*) for an inconsistency. The broken states are
    Root inconsistent, Loopguard inconsistent, PVID inconsistent, Bridge
    Assurance inconsistent, or Type inconsistent.

    Note  Display output differs slightly depending on whether you are running Rapid Per VLAN Spanning
    Tree Plus (Rapid PVST+) or Multiple Spanning Tree (MST).

    switch#

    This example shows how to display the blocked ports in spanning tree:

    switch# show spanning-tree blockedports

    Name Blocked Interfaces List


    -------------------- ------------------------------------
    VLAN0001 Eth1/11, Eth1/12, Eth1/15, Eth1/16

    Number of blocked ports (segments) in the system : 4

    switch#

    This example shows how to determine if any ports are in any STP-inconsistent state:

    switch# show spanning-tree inconsistentports

    Name Interface Inconsistency


    -------------------- ---------------------- ------------------
    VLAN0001 Eth1/11 Port Type Inconsistent
    VLAN0001 Eth1/12 Port Type Inconsistent
    VLAN0001 Eth1/15 Port Type Inconsistent
    VLAN0001 Eth1/16 Port Type Inconsistent

    Number of inconsistent ports (segments) in the system : 4

    switch#

    This example shows how to display the path cost method:

    switch(config)# show spanning-tree pathcost method Spanning tree default


    pathcost method used is short
    switch#
