The following table shows the commands that display the Spanning Tree Status.

Table 1. Spanning Tree Status
Command Purpose
show spanning-tree active Displays the Bridge and details of the active (active ports are those ports that are participating in the spanning-tree) ports
show spanning-tree detail Displays in detail about the port and bridge. This includes designated bridge details, designated port details, timer values, root bridge, etc.
show spanning-tree interface interface-id Displays spanning tree information for the specified interface.
show spanning-tree summary Displays a summary of port states or displays the total lines of the STP state section.
