Viewing 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

Displays debug counters for MSTP activity on all ports configured for VLANs used in spanning tree instances.

Viewing output for debug counters

The following example shows sample output of the show spanning-tree debug-counters command for all ports.

switch(config)# show spanning-tree debug-counters
