Multiple Instance Spanning-Tree Operation
Troubleshooting an MSTP Configuration
Displaying Debug Counters for All MST Instances
The show spanning-tree debug-counters command allows you to display the
aggregate values of all MSTP debug counters that are maintained on a switch.
These aggregate values are a summary of the information collected from all
ports and from all spanning-tree instances that forward traffic on switch ports.
Use the displayed diagnostic information to globally monitor MSTP operation
on a per-switch basis.
Syntax: show spanning-tree debug-counters
This command displays debug counters for MSTP activity on
all ports configured for VLANs used in spanning-tree
instances.
The following example shows sample output of the show spanning-tree debug-
counters command for all ports. For a description of each counter, refer to
Table 4-1 on page 4-70.
ProCurve(config)# show spanning-tree debug-counters
