The following prompt is displayed:

Enter new value (S-STP, R-RSTP, M-MSTP):

4. Type S to select STP, R to select RSTP, or M to select MSTP.

The following prompt is displayed:

Do you want to enable spanning tree? (Y/N) ->

If you respond with Yes to this prompt, the management software
reboots the switch and enables the selected spanning tree
protocol. If you respond with No, the management software
reboots but does not activate spanning tree. The first response is
appropriate if you do not want to configure the spanning tree
parameter settings before spanning tree is activated. A response
of No is appropriate if you want to configure spanning tree
parameters before spanning tree is activated.

5. Type Y for yes or N for no.

The switch reboots and the selected spanning tree protocol
becomes the active protocol on the switch. You can now
configure the parameters of the selected spanning tree protocol.
If you selected STP, go to Configuring STP on page 242 for further
instructions. If you selected RSTP, go to Configuring RSTP on page
248. If you selected MSTP, go
to MSTP Overview on page 258.

Unlike other management procedures with the AT-S60 software,
this procedure does not require you to return to the Main Menu to
save your changes. The change to the active spanning tree
protocol is automatically saved before the switch reboots.

Note

Steps 6, 7, and 8 apply only if you did not enable the spanning tree
when you selected it. The steps enable or disable the spanning tree
protocol.

6. To enable or disable the active spanning tree, type 1 to select

Spanning Tree Status.

7. Type E to enable spanning tree or D to disable it. The default is

enabled.

8. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then

type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
