Web Management User Guide 4. Use Configuration Revision Level to specify the identifier used to identify the configuration currently being used. The values allowed are between 0 and 65535. The default value is 0. 5. Use Forward BPDU while STP Disabled to specify whether spanning tree BPDUs should be forwarded while spanning-tree is disabled on the switch. Value is enabled or disabled. 6. Use BPDU Guard to specify whether the BPDU guard feature is enabled. The STP BPDU guard allows a network administrator to enforce the STP domain borders and keep the active topology be consistent and predictable. The switches behind the edge ports that have STP BPDU guard enabled will not be able to influence the overall STP topology. At the reception of BPDUs, the BPDU guard operation disables the port that is configured with this option and transitions the port into disable state. This would lead to administrative disable of the port. 7. Use BPDU Filter to specify whether the BPDU Filter feature is enabled. STP BPDU filtering applies to all operational edge ports. Edge Port in an operational state is supposed to be connected to hosts that typically drop BPDUs. If an operational edge port receives a BPDU, it immediately loses its operational status. In that case, if BPDU filtering is enabled on this port then it drops the BPDUs received on this port. Field Configuration digest key MST ID VID ID FID ID Description Identifier used to identify the configuration currently being used. Table consisting of the MST instances (including the CST) and the corresponding VLAN IDs associated with each of them.
