Recommended Practice for Spanning Tree Configurations
Since the SP network management port is not designed to behave like a switch port, the SP network management port does not support switch port features like spanning-tree portfast.
When configuring Spanning Tree parameters, consider these recommendations:
- The port used to connect the SP network management port to the adjacent network switch should always treat the SP network management port as a host port.
- The Spanning Tree option on the port connecting to the adjacent network switch should either be disabled entirely or at a minimum, be configured with the following parameters:
Spanning Tree Parameter | Recommended Setting |
---|---|
|
Enable this interface to immediately move to a forwarding state. |
|
Do not send or receive BPDUs on this interface. |
|
Do not accept BPDUs on this interface. |
|
Do not enable the discovery protocol on this interface. |
