Re: OT : Brocade switch config. doubt

Brocade/Foundry have gone through a few different CLI structures in
regards to spanning tree. In some devices it is configured using "rstp
<command>" and on others it will be under "802-1w <command>". In almost
all cases they consider Rapid Spanning Tree and Spanning Tree to be
different protocols.

For instance, if you run "show spanning-tree" it will may tell you that
spanning tree is not running but if you run "show 802-1w" or "show rstp"
the same VLAN will show that it is running. This can cause some
confusion for sure. Brocade/Foundry doesn't tree 802.1w or 802.1s as
different "modes" of spanning tree but as different protocols which are
mutually exclusive.

I'd look at, for example,
http://www.brocade.com/forms/getFile?p=documents/product_manuals/B_BigIron/BigIronRX_02800_ConfigGuide.pdf
for the RX platform. The CLI in Brocade/Foundry land is not as
consistent from platform to platform as some other vendors. Items such
as link aggregation, QOS, rate limiting, etc... can vary widely in both
location and configuration logic.

The best advice I can give is to make sure you have the configuration
guide and CLI guide for the platform and major software version you're
working on.
