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.
