STP Configuration
The STP Switch Configuration screen contains fields for enabling STP on the switch.
 To configure STP settings on the switch:
1. Select Switching > STP > Basic > STP Configuration.
2. Next to Spanning Tree State, specify whether to enable or disable spanning tree operation
on the switch.
3. Next to STP Operation Mode, specify the Force Protocol Version parameter for the
switch.
The following options are:
• STP (Spanning Tree Protocol). IEEE 802.1D
• RSTP (Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol). IEEE 802.1w. This is the default mode.
• MSTP (Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol). IEEE 802.1s
4. Specify the configuration name and revision level (relevant when in MSTP mode).
• Configuration Name. Name used to identify the configuration currently being used. It
can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. By default it is the switch MAC address.
• Configuration Revision Level. Number used to identify the configuration currently
being used. The valid range is 0–65535. The default value is 0.
5. Next to Forward BPDU while STP Disabled, select Enable or Disable.
The Forward BPDU while STP Disabled field specifies whether spanning tree BPDUs
should be forwarded or not (default) while spanning-tree is disabled on the switch.
6. Click Apply to send the updated configuration to the switch.
Configuration changes take place immediately.
