Switch STP Configuration

Spanning Tree Protocol Configuration

Switch Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) configuration in Meraki networks provides administrators with comprehensive loop prevention and network topology management capabilities, enabling rapid spanning tree protocol (RSTP) implementation, bridge priority customization, convergence optimization, and network stability assurance. This functionality supports automatic loop detection, failover mechanisms, redundant path management, and network topology optimization. STP configuration is essential for preventing broadcast storms, maintaining network stability, ensuring redundant connectivity, and providing automatic failover capabilities in enterprise switched networks.

Examples

Example-1: The example below demonstrates switch STP configuration using tested YAML configuration from pipeline fixtures.

meraki:
  domains:
    - name: "!env domain"
      administrator:
        name: "!env org_admin"
      organizations:
        - name: "!env org"
          networks:
            - name: "!env network_name"
              product_types:
                - appliance
                - switch
                - wireless
                - camera
                - sensor
                - cellularGateway
              switch:
                stp:
                  rstp: true
                  stp_bridge_priority:
                    - stacks:
                        - "DEV_CORE"
                      stp_priority: 28672
