Enhanced Passive Listening Compatibility

Spanning Tree and ring redundancy
If you enable Enhanced Passive Listening Compatibility, topology change notifications will be
sent via RSTP edge ports. In conjunction with the "Edge Type" function (see "Layer 2 >
Spanning Tree > CIST Port"), this parameter is necessary to link spanning tree networks
with HRP rings. Otherwise no TCN frames will be sent via edge ports; this is, however,
necessary for the passive listening function on ring nodes.
