What is STP setting?

Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) protects Layer 2 broadcast domains from broadcast storms by selectively setting links to standby mode to prevent loops. In standby mode, these links temporarily stop transferring user data. STP is typically configured when there are redundant links to a host to prevent network loop.

How do I configure a STP switch?

How to configure STP?

  1. STP configuration. Enter Global Configuration mode: switch# configure terminal.
  2. Root Guard configuration. The Root Guard feature is responsible for verifying if the port on which it was enabled is a designated port.
  3. STP configuration verification.

What are the STP modes?

STP Modes

  • Classic STP—Provides a single path between any two end stations, avoiding and eliminating loops.
  • Rapid STP (RSTP)—Detects network topologies to provide faster convergence of the spanning tree.
  • Multiple STP (MSTP)—MSTP is based on RSTP.

To view the configured Spanning Tree PortFast enabled ports, run the “show running-config” IOS command as shown below. We can see that PortFast is enabled on access ports fa0/1 to fa0/24. To display a detailed summary of interface information, run “show spanning-tree detail” command as shown below.

What are the three different types of STP ports?

Spanning-Tree Protocol Types

Protocol Standard Convergence
STP 802.1D Slow
PVST+ Cisco Slow
RSTP 802.1w Fast
Rapid PVST+ Cisco Fast

What happens if STP is disabled?

Disabling Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) can cause Broadcast Storms and Layer 2 Switching Loops, which can make your network down within a short span of time.

Should I enable STP on router?

Broadcast storms caused by loops can slow or stop traffic on your network, but STP can prevent loops by ensuring that only one path between each set of switches is active. You must enable or disable STP or RSTP for each network location in which you are using Insight Managed Switches.

What are the recommended settings for DD-WRT?

The first of my recommended DD-WRT settings is, believe it or not, to move your network off 192.168.1.x. Most routers get infected by jumping off a web browser, and that malware assumes your router lives at 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

How to set up PPTP VPN on DD-WRT router?

In order to set up PPTP VPN on DD-WRT routers you have to flash your router with DD-WRT firmware and set router local IP address as 192.168.1.1. Also please, check if you can connect to Internet via Wi-Fi from DD-WRT router.
