Ignore STP
mode
No Yes, in
allClosed
mode
Ignores the blocking Spanning Tree Protocol
(STP) mode for the ports of a designated VLAN.
(One instance of STP runs on the module, but
you can disable it on a per-VLAN basis.) This
mode, only available in allClosed mode, is dis-
abled by default. You select (on a per-VLAN
basis), which VLANs ignore STP blocked ports.
It is typically used for VLANs with router inter-
faces that ignore the STP state. This mode
allows routing over a port that is blocked by
STP.
