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.

Obviously test it well before hand, and schedule a reload on the device just as a backup. Chuck -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of James Urwiller Sent: Thursday, August 02, 2012 10:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [c-nsp] remove spanning-tree without being service effecting 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??
