the Configuration field pull-down menu.
Refer to Table 4-3 for a definition of the Configuration field
parameters:
Definition
Entire switch is a single IEEE 802.1D-compliant bridge.
Note: When the spanning tree mode is set to IEEE 802.D, BPDUs are
sent out ports in Clear (non-trunked) format even if the port has a
trunking format (3Com, 802.1Q or Dual layer) defined.
Each VLAN functions as a separate IEEE 802.1D-compliant bridge.
In order for spanning tree to function properly with 3Com trunked
ports, the spanning tree mode should be set to per-VLAN. In Per VLAN
spanning tree, there is one instance of spanning tree for each VLAN
and the BPDUs are tagged with the VLAN ID, ensuring they are
interpreted correctly on the receiving end.
Spanning tree terminates at edge of the switch network. Spanning Tree
per VLAN within the switch network.
