M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches 5. Select the Admin Mode Disable or Enable radio button. This specifies whether spanning tree operation is enabled on the switch. The default is Enable. 6. Use Force Protocol Version to specify the Force Protocol Version parameter for the switch. The options are IEEE 802.1d, IEEE 802.1w, IEEE 802.1s, PVST, and RPVST. The default is IEEE 802.1w. 7. Use Configuration Name to specify the identifier used to identify the configuration currently being used. It can be up to 32 alphanumeric characters. 8. 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. 9. Select the Forward BPDU while STP Disabled Disable or Enable radio button. This specifies whether spanning tree BPDUs are forwarded while spanning-tree is disabled on the switch. The default is Disable. 10. Select the BPDU Guard Disable or Enable radio button. This specifies 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 consistent and predictable. The switches behind the edge ports with STP BPDU guard enabled do not 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 an administrative disable of the port. Configure Switching Information 217 User Manual
