mode

(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.
