Advanced Setup

Most of the following options can be configured independently of the other options. However, you must configure a VLAN before you can configure an IP interface for it.

Spanning Tree Protocol

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) prevents loops in a network by allowing only one active path between any two network devices at a time. (For more information about using this protocol, refer to “Spanning Tree Concepts” in chapter 3.)

STP operates on two levels. On the switch level, the settings are globally implemented. On the port level, the settings are implemented on a user-defined group basis. STP must be enabled on the switch for it to be enabled on a particular port.

To configure STP switch settings

1.In the left panel, click Spanning Tree.

2.In the top panel, click STP Switch Settings.

3.In the Status field, select to Enabled or Disabled.
