Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
Configuring the Switch
Configuring STP from the Switch Console
In most cases, the default STP parameter settings are adequate. In cases where
they are not, use this procedure to make configuration changes.
Caution If you enable STP, it is recommended that you leave the remainder of the STP
parameter settings at their default values until you have had an opportunity
to evaluate STP performance in your network. Because incorrect STP settings
can adversely affect network performance, you should avoid making changes
without having a strong understanding of how STP operates. To learn the
details of STP operation, refer to the IEEE 802.1D standard.
To Access STP:
1. From the Main Menu, select:
3. Switch Configuration . . .
4. Spanning Tree Operation
2. Press [E] (for E
dit) to highlight the Spanning Tree Enabled parameter.
3. Press the Space bar to select Yes . (This enables STP.)
