Enabling Spanning Tree Protocol
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is off by default. First, you must enable STP
globally. Next, enable STP on the desired ports. Using the CLI to enable STP, it
is possible to enable spanning tree globally and on all the ports with just two
commands.
Create a Port-based VLAN
When you set up a management IP address, you can manage the switch through
any enabled port in VLAN1.
By default, the management VLAN is set up on the default VLAN 1, and
includes all ports. The default VLAN is VLAN 1. It cannot be changed.
NOTE: All ports are disabled by default. Enable them with no shutdown all
(Global Config mode), or individually with the no shutdown command.
