[c-nsp] remove spanning-tree without being service effecting

[Chuck Church]

Well, the scheduled reload is just your safety net.  The copying of tftp
into running config will let you enter an entire command set that had you
tried to enter interactively would have bumped out off before they were all
in there, leaving the device down.  So you schedule the reload for 2 minutes
out, then copy the config via TFTP.  Assuming it goes well, you never lose
your CLI session to the device, or worst case you do, but can get right back
in.  Then you cancel the reload before that 2 minutes elapses.

That kind of defeats the whole "not service effecting" issue.. thanks
anyway.

Figure out all the commands you need to enter for everything, put it in a
text file, and tftp that into the running config.  Obviously test it well
before hand, and schedule a reload on the device just as a backup.

I have a MSTP ring that I want to remove spanning-tree all together, and
manually shut down my "dead" link.  How can I remove or disable
spanning-tree without driving to each site?  If I use the commands
"spanning-tree bpdufilter" or "spanning-tree bpduguard"  they both
err-disable the port; which would cause my connectivity to the switch to go
down.  I also use the command "spanning-tree portfast trunk"  if I do that
command first before the bpduguard/filters will it not err-disable the
port??  

 

Is there a better way to go about this??
