Spanning tree issue on C1111 router

[WilsonCheng]

Spanning tree was configured and enabled on C1111 router, but show spanning tree shows no spanning tree information as below. Does anyone know what the issue is and how to fix it? Thank you.

Hello

Just noticed you have no interfaces in either of the vlans  the two ports that are active are in vlan 1 and that’s admin down  either assign one of the ports to those vlans or enable vlan1

[WilsonCheng]

vlan 1 is the default vlan for all ports. we don't use it, so shut it down.
vlan 599 and vlan 990 are on trunk port g0/1/0 already. We don't need to
assign them to the access port.

router#sh int trunk

Port Mode Encapsulation Status Native vlan
Gi0/1/0 on 802.1q trunking 990

Port Vlans allowed on trunk
Gi0/1/0 1-4094

Port Vlans allowed and active in management domain
Gi0/1/0 1,599,990

Port Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
Gi0/1/0 1,599,990

Granted but we are discussing a rtr here not a definitive switching device, we could be well looking at buggy software,  
You could try reapplying or changing the stp mode to see if that helps and as vlan 1 is being allowed over the trunk enable it just to see?

Gi0/1/1, Gi0/1/2 = down state
g0/1/0 = trunk (native vlan 990)
gig0/0/0 = i assume is routed 
gig0/1/3 <   ???

I think this router does not support Spanning-Tree. It does support layer 3 port-channel, but in the documentation, it does not mention anything of spanning-tree or any of 802.1D, 802.1W, 802.1s standards on the LAN ports, it does not even support layer 2 port-channels. 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/products/collateral/routers/1000-series-integrated-services-routers-isr/datasheet-c78-739512.html 

I do have the C1111-4p and I was surprised when I wanted to do layer 2 port-channel on the LAN ports and it was not supported.

Hello @EdgarMurray8920 

If this is correct that would do be the reason; I’m surprised it lets you create l2 features if it doesn’t support them.

In prior images,  the commands were not there. I just notice that in my latest upgrade, I have active/passive options for LACP mode in channel-group spanning-tree but they were not there in version 16, and last year when I tried, I couldn't find any of the commands available. Now only has LACP options, It does not have PAGP options.

I found in my research last year, a thread here stating the router does not have the power to do all those functions. 

Maybe version 17 have the commands now, but is still incapable of supporting spanning-tree

I guess this relate to "vlan database".

To check it, execute following commands from global command prompt.

vlan database

show

That is a strange thing about the C1111. If I look at show span then I don't get any output until I activate rapid-PVST as shown here.

R1#show vlan brie

It seems to be very strange because the initial post of this thread has following 

router#sh spanning-tree sum
Switch is in rapid-pvst mode

If you have output of "show spanning-tree summary" before entering command for rapid-pvst mode, it may help to clarify the situation.
