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.

The login page displays.

3. Click the Main UI Login button.

The main UI login page displays in a new tab.

button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
