Configure the CST interface settings

You can configure a common spanning tree (CST) and internal spanning tree on a
specific interface on the switch.

An interface can become diagnostically disabled (D-Disable) when a severe error
condition occurs for DOT1S. The most common cause is when BPDU flooding occurs.
The flooding criteria are such that DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs in a 3-second
interval. (Other causes for a DOT1S D-Disable condition are very rare.)

To configure the CST interface settings:

1. Launch a web browser.

2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.

If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see Log in to the main UI with a web
browser
on page 27 and the subsections.
