Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)

 

Using the Switch Console To Configure STP

 

In most cases, the default STP parameter settings are adequate. In cases where

 

they are not, use this procedure to make configuration changes.

 

 

C a u t i o n

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. For an overview,

 

see “How STP Operates” on page 6-33.

 

 

To Access STP:

1.From the Main Menu, select:

3.Switch Configuration . . .

4.Spanning Tree Operation

2.Press [E] (for Edit) to highlight the Spanning Tree Enabled parameter.

3.Press the Space bar to select Yes.
