Hi,
I have configure command:"
"bridge spanning-tree disable" on CSS but still i see my CSS acting as a root switch in the topology. Could some one tell me how do i completely remove the CSS from the STP.

this output is the default.
You can't change it.
You can see the state is disabled, and by defaut we set our mac address as the root bridge.
So, all this is correct.
You need to look at the remote switches attached to the CSS to see if everything is ok there.

if you use the 'show bridge status' on the css after disabling spanning tree, it will always say it is the root bridge since without STP all ports are forwarding.
You need to check the status of STP outside the CSS and normally the CSS shouldn't be the root.
Finally, a good advise when using STP is to manually select the STP by setting a weight on the device you want to be the root.

Hi Giles,
Thanks for the reply.
As per your update now the css is not acting in the STP thats the reason all ports are in forwading state, Now i need to check with the other switches connected to the CSS is that right ?
