Configure and View the CST Port Settings
You can configure a common spanning tree (CST) and internal spanning tree on a specific
port on the switch.
A port can become diagnostically disabled (D-Disable) when DOT1S experiences a severe
error condition. The most common cause is when the DOT1S software experiences BPDU
flooding. The flooding criteria are such that DOT1S receives more than 15 BPDUs in a
3-second interval. The other causes for DOT1S D-Disable are very rare.
To configure and view the CST port settings:
1. Connect your computer to the same network as the switch.
You can use a WiFi or wired connection to connect your computer to the network, or
connect directly to a switch that is off-network using an Ethernet cable.
2. Launch a web browser.
3. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
If you do not know the IP address of the switch, see
Discover or Change the Switch IP
Address on page 12.
Your web browser might display a security message, which you can ignore. For more

The login window opens.
4. Enter the switch’s password in the Password
