Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a HP ProCurve Switch (3400cl) 24port and the 48port versions, <br />
<br />
I currently have RSTP turned on, and working well.<br />
<br />
I would like to only enable RSTP data on certain &quot;uplink&quot; ports that I have connected to other ProCurve Switches running RSTP.<br />
<br />
Having put a Network analysier on the other edge ports (ones that connect to desktop machines), they are receving the STP packets from the switches. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I want to keep the STP(R) packets only to the higher bandwidth uplink ports.<br />
<br />
Is this possible ? I have played around with the settings, but still seem to get STP traffic on the ports.<br />
<br />

I would like to only enable RSTP data on certain "uplink" ports that I have connected to other ProCurve Switches running RSTP.

Disabling RSTP on certain ports on HP ProCurve Switches

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
